Does anyone know where to find the following products?

Oven cleaner, or something of the sort. If nobody has seen this could you kindly inform me of the strongest cleaning prodcut you have seen.

A fuzzy shaver, aka, battery operated lint remover. It takes the little fuzzy things off your clothes that the wash cycle leaves behind. The sticky ones will not do as they only remove loose fuzz.

I live in Gunpo but am willing to travel almost anywhere for either product. Thanks in advance

You mean you want something to remove the pilling.... try a used (i.e. blunt) disposable shaving razor - that works very well. Just don't go at it too hard, otherwise you will get holes in your clothes.

well...I'm not sure.

However, for things foreign, your best bet in Gunpo is "Living Gallery" in Sanbon. It's near KFC.

Wonder where I can get a "fuzzy shaver" in my home country. Never heard of a contraction like that.

Hey, there are times language policing is appreciated. Thank you.

edit: Actually, I just googled this thing, and there seems to be no such thing that goes by that name.

Instead of using a lint shaver you can use a disposable razor. I find its better than lint shavers that only last a couple of uses and then stop working!

I think I remember seeing Greased lightning in eMart. I remember in the cleaning products aisle a white bottle with the familar yellow/black label with a lightning bolt.

then again, I didn't check the label closely. Could just be a Korean knockoff.

I've seen lint removers at 1,000 won shops. Try the shop on the 7th floor of Doota in the Doosan building next time you are in Dongdaemun.

Amway. Yes, it exists in Korea. Actually I was looking at a catalogue at my gym last night. The cleaning products are cheaper than my country's Amway, but the vitamins are really expensive. Rolling Eyes

Thank you so much to everyone who responded - you've saved my gear and my dinner.

Side note; are there any inexpensive womens clothing outlets in or around Seoul?

Thanks Again Very Happy
