- Model match
- Polypropylene material, approx. 22x20cm per sheet, 30 sheets/roll, perforated roll for easy tearing, usable on both sidesThe Japan price comes from Rakuten Market (the brand's official store / a large chain) (a Japan-retailer list price (official Rakuten store)); Taiwan is momo's "[MUJI] Cleaning Wipes for Stain Removal / 30 Sheets (for Sink/Bathroom Limescale, Stove Burnt Grease Cleaning) - momo Shopping - Highly Recommended -202," priced at NT$69. The first round suspected the JP source entry "limescale cleaning cloth" (a single cloth) might be a different, reusable microfiber cloth from MUJI, not a disposable wipe. This round's web search verified MUJI Japan's official product description (material: polypropylene, 22x20cm, 30 sheets/roll), confirming that the "limescale cleaning cloth" commonly named by third-party retailers on the market and MUJI's official name "Cleaning Wipes for Stain Removal" are the same disposable product (momo third-party store TP00014640000114 lists it as "limescale cleaning cloth" at NT$189, while the same product on the official momo channel, i_code=14831199, sells for NT$69); the two match exactly in material, size, and sheet count, differing only in name translation, and are not a separate reusable cloth. Confirmed as the same SKU, judged a candidate under the relaxed standard. Root has reopened this page to re-check the product name and price.
