CPAP mask wipes

CPAP mask wipes
Been thinking about buying some. Any particular brand to watch for? This brand seems to be very popular on EBAY. 

I've been using Clorox disinfectant wet wipes.  Dont-know

I used to use fragrance-free baby wipes. They are cheaper and work just fine.

I'm currently using Clorox disinfectant wet wipes. They seem to be doing a good job and the smell doesn't bother me at all. But...I was concerned that they might be too strong, chemically speaking.  Thinking-about

RE: CPAP mask wipes
Clorex wipes might not be good for the silicone parts of your mask.

Unscented baby wipes or any brand Cpap wipes are fine.

I’ve always used baby bum wipes. Cheap and get the job done.

Pampers Sensitive baby wipes. I've been using them for 20 years.

RE: CPAP mask wipes
Not clorox!!! Very bad for your mask, and do you really want to be inhaling bleach all night?. I avoid baby wipes, since some contain soothing oils. Oil on the mask would also not be a good idea: it’ll slide around on your face. Even my water-based butt wipes would be a bad choice because of the other ingredients and because there’s no cleansing happening, just wiping. As for alcohol wipes, you’d be drying out the mask. Note how few CPAP-specific products have alcohol in them.

I use CPAP wipes from Supplier #1. They seem to have a mild je ne sais quoi of grapefruit, and I love them. They don’t have ingredients that eat masks. I also use them on my face right before I put the mask on; it sticks super well.

I'm not suggesting them as an option, just wanting to note that Clorox wipes do not contain chlorine bleach.

Maybe I'll just use some warm water on a paper towel and a drop or two of liquid soap.  Thinking-about

I've done that as well and was pleased with the results.
