Though be careful it is known to actually eat away the grout if sat too long. Can also etch the tile. I see you're in Miami, so down down to your nearset Pinch A Penny and get a gallon for cheap, ours is $3.99gl.

How long should I let it stay?

few seconds depending on how dirty it is. You need to mix it with water anyway as it's very strong stuff. Just remember it's real acid and it is very harmful. It can and will burn you, and the fumes are very toxic.

it would be easier to just re-grout your tile. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
