Introducing the Water-Pika Series
Water cleaning is taking a step forward with the launch of the Water-Pika series by Marna, a well-known lifestyle goods manufacturer based in Sumida, Tokyo. Starting from January 13, 2026, this revamped series aims to combine usability with style, all while maintaining the effectiveness of the original cleaning product line, "This is Useful!" which has gained immense popularity since its debut in 1997.
The Evolution of a Classic
With over 17 million units sold, the original series has been a trusted ally in households for years. Utilizing Marna's unique "hard resin processing" technique, the Water-Pika series is designed with uneven acrylic piles that become elastic when wet, allowing users to easily wipe away dirt without the use of harsh chemicals. The brand has modernized the series not only to enhance functionality but also to resonate more closely with contemporary lifestyles, including refreshing the lineup and color options.
A Diverse Product Range
The newly launched Water-Pika series comprises seven essential cleaning items:
- - Flat Kitchen Sponge
- - Mini Sponge
- - 3-Layer Kitchen Sponge
- - Bath Sponge
- - Cleaning Cloth
- - Bottle Washing Sponge
- - Bottle Washing Sponge Refill
This varied selection ensures that there’s a solution for every corner of your home, specifically addressing water stains, stubborn residues, and tea marks. Whether you need a larger sponge for the kitchen or a mini sponge for those hard-to-reach areas, the new series has you covered.
Color Choices That Fit Your Space
Available in contemporary shades of green and gray, the Water-Pika products are designed to blend seamlessly into any environment. The
hard resin processed surface is great for tough stains, while the
acrylic side excels at cleaning delicate surfaces without causing damage. Users can wipe away even the most stubborn of stains without worrying about scratches.
