If these are VCT tile, 12 x 12 or 9 x 9 inch, you can use a stripper to take off the yellowing affect. You can do the same with most vinyl but you will want to test it in a corner or closet first. Depending on why it is yellowing it may or may not work.

How would you install ceramic tile the right way?

You need to measure your wall/floor accurately to work out the square footage of tiles needed. Your tile supplier will be able to work this out for you if you take along your measurements. Your walls/floor will then need to be clean and free of old tile adhesive. You may need to install a new hardboard floor to cover old floorboards. Use a spirit level then starting from the longest straightest part begin to install your tiles. You will need an adhesive suitable to the weight of the tile you are using, a tile cutter to cut tiles to fit odd gaps and grout to finish off the joints between the tiles. Use spacers to ensure that the tiles are laid out evenly. A good DIY book will have all the information you need to make a good job of this task.

Mop the floor with the tile cleaner. Spray the cleaner on walls and counters then wipe it down with a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive mops and sponges because these scratch the tile and can damage old grout.
