Grind it out and start over.
You can buy a hand tool from a good tile shop or hardware store that has steel teeth in a line, specifically for removing grout between tiles. (This happens a lot, trust me).
Removing the grout in a 6' long kitchen counter took this old man about an hour.
Mix new grout, mush it in, working for no air pockets and sponge off the top.

i have used the clorox bleach pen to clean it it worked quite well. i'm not sure i know what you mean about not being laid correctly.if it was just the grout then i think you can carefully scrape it out, clean, then re-grout. if its the actual tile, thats a bigger job. you'd be better off checking with a tile distributer as to how to do that.

If you have a dremel tool...they make an attachment just for cleaning out the grout and then you can regrout it...i have one and it works great...available at Lowes or just about anywhere they sell dremel accs.

If it's not to much trouble, take it all out and start over. It's pretty hard to "fix" a poor job, sometimes just adding to the misery.
