I am having a problem of stained grout in my house. We didn't use any sealer on the grout at first and it got easily stained.

Now I don't know how to replace it on my own or how to remove the stain. Is there any way in which I could remove the stains or replace the grout.

I would first try soft scrub on the stains and see if that works. If not, can you just regrout on top and then put a sealer?

I would not advise to regrout on top of existing as it will break up after a short period of time. Rake out old grout and re-grout with epoxy:)

A bleach solution, 1 part bleach to 12 parts water, might do the trick.

I use bleach on my bathroom tiles and it cleans just fine. Just be sure to have good ventilation! You may also be able to find bleach sticks at the grocery store in the laundry detergent aisle. Those work too!
