That could be as well. Adorama has tons of the MicroDear, which is also widely available in Japan. I can send one to you as well.
I do not recommend the use of any solutions, since you never know what they are doing to your lens's coating.
Here's the lens cleaning method I've used for 30 years:
1) First clean the outer face of the filter
2) blow the excess dust off using a Dust Off
2) breathe on the filter
3) quickly and gently wipe in a circular motion with microfiber cloth #1
4) remove filter
5) clean the inside face of the filter
6) blow the excess dust off using a Dust Off
7) breathe on the filter
8) quickly and gently wipe in a circular motion with microfiber cloth #2
9) clean the lens
10) blow the excess dust off using a Dust Off
11) breathe on the lens
12) quickly and gently wipe in a circular motion (light arc strokes) with microfiber cloth #2
13) clean the inside of the lens cap with microfiber cloth #3
14) clean the camera body with microfiber cloth #3
