Bleach the grout. Defiantly not worth pulling it all out and replacing it.
Hi Gen,
I have to agree with Anita, it is a whole lot of work to remove only the grout and refill. Try bleaching as she said, you may have to get down and scrub, please wear protective gloves and have good ventilation.
There are several different products available to clean it but if you want to replace it you will need a grout removal tool and scrape it out. This is not an easy job! Then you will need to re-grout the tiles.
At my previous home, I tried everything I could to get the grout clean and didn’t want to go through the work to replace it. I ended up using grout paint found at the home improvement store. https://www.lowes.com/pd/MAPEI-Grout-Refresh-8-fl-oz-Alabaster-Ceramic-Porcelain-Tile-Grout-Sealer-Squeeze-Bottle/999977828
I agree with Tricia. Sometimes you just can't get it clean and so I would suggest painting and resealing.
