I need to clean my bathroom. What kind of bottle am I looking for?

Is bleach the best bet with this weird mold / dirt stuff that has started up?

If so...

Will the word ǥ���� be on the bottle somewhere?

[tzechuk]

It's called *����*. Don't ask me why, but that's what it is.

If I were you though, I would just go and buy some magic blocks.. simple and work wonders!

They look like standard bottles of bleach in the detergent section of your supermarket.
The Konglish term is "rox" -- whatever + ����.

You just beat me to it tzechuk. It must be a back-formation from Chlorox.

Off to hunt for some ����. Hmm, I wonder if Magic Blocks is what is written on the package? Or something Korean? Or is it the nickname for the thirsty fat pink hippo that I've read about?

[peppermint]

magic blocks are little white sponges that seem to clean anything and everything.

I have a vague notion Koreans call bleach by the brand name, Oxy.

It looks just like a regular bottle of bleach back home....very similar design....blue/dark blue/red......it will say in english Yuhan Rox on the bottom, and I also saw something called Pigeon Rox last week(not sure if that's bleach too...but funny name).
