I am cleaning my bathroom and wanting to clean the grout (white area between the tiles).
In America I would use Ajax (powder bleach) or liquid bleach would also work.
I looked up bleach, 표백제, and went down to my local Daewoo mart, which is a pretty big store. They had only waching detergent with bleach added, no liguid bleach or powder cleaning bleach.
Is this another one of the things mysteriously missing from Korea? Can someone help my write "strong liquid bleach" or "cleaning powder bleach" in Koream? Then I guess I will go to HomeEver or E-Mart?
Thanks for help.
Drew

And it often looks quite a bit like a bottle of Clorox from North America.

Thanks!! Got the Raks,

It was a bit tricky because it was positioned between one brand of drain cleaner, and a different brand of drain cleaner. Kind of scared me off in the beginning; then it was far away from where the clerk directed me when I showed him I wanted bleach, 표백제.
I still had to choose between 유한락스 and 유니락스. I picked the 유니락스 since it said "clean raks" on the bottle, and was on sale.

Thanks all,
Drew
