How do you clean your tile?

Our pool is IG gunite, 12 years old. In the area of the fountain, the waterline blue tiles are VERY milky looking despite my best efforts. I tried to convince my hubby that we can use a dilute solution of muratic acid to clean the tiles but he's less than enthusiastic about that. What do you use to keep your tiles looking good?

Pumis Stone and a little elbow grease and beer .. If your going to make an acid solution, always remember to add the acid to water and not the other way around.

a mixture of pool tile soap, acid, and a green scrubbing pad! I got a scrubber at the pool store that goes on the pole and has a chamber to put the tile soap/acid mixture in that gets released to the pad with a little pressure on it....sort of like those dishwashing wands with the sponge one the end that you put the deterent in.

Thanks, Evan! (Hmmmm, I wonder if one of those dishwashing things would work...??? )

What kind of acid concentration to use? For instance how much muriatic to add to a 5 gallon bucket?
