Yep.
I love those sticks.  And they really do make your grout white with minimal
work.

Isn't it usually grease that darkens grout near a stove?

yeah.
I use a degreaser on the tiles regularly and the bleach pen on the grout
once in awhile.
works for me.

Try brushing it with toothpaste.  If that fails, cover it with bleach-soaked
paper towel.

You probably won't restore it to white.  You can try, but when that fails
you can remove it with a grout saw and regrout.  Make sure to use a good
sealer on it every 6 month.  If it were me, I would regrout in a darker
color.  I have tile counter and I did my grout in a medium tan color.  It
still stains, even with a good sealer, but there isn't the stark contrast
that would occur with white grout.

Thankyou all so much-the bleach pen worked well--when I ran out-I
finished
with cascade gel-dishwasher soap-let it set-i think it may be just as
good
