What is the best way to brighten the grouting in a shower?

[GasX]

Trying to freshen up a bathroom and the grouting is all brown. Is regrouting a big deal or is there some easier way to have the very thin gaps between tiles whitened?

well its a power tool and it cleans.

what could be better?

as far as grout/soap scum a mild soap/bleach solution and this thing rock. Or other abrasive/bleach cleaner.

If this is for the new digs then it sounds like you want a new proejct?

-edit- the thing is pretty torguey and does a better job than any mere human could. Oh - and did I mention its a power tool and it cleans?

First try using the bleach preparations. Spraying it on is super easy, and works really well if the stain is mold based. If that doesn't work, buy grout dye. Easy to use, and seals the grout. I've used it on floor tile, and it's the easiest, and best solution for the problem.
