AirTouch F20 Cleaning

AirTouch F20 Cleaning
Got started on all this a few weeks back, and so far been going well.  Only problem I have had is a few nights the bottom of one of my masks moved, and ended up in my mouth.  When I awoke, it was like I had been sucking on one of the bottom corners.  This has left the memory foam a bit distorted, as it seems to be filled with my saliva.  I tried just rinsing it with some warm water, and air drying.  It still seems to work, but is a bit nasty.  I have since started using the second mask I was given.  This morning I remember I need to be cleaning this stuff like once a week, which I keep forgetting about until it is time to put it on in the evening. 

From what I have found, you are not to wash this type of mask, as it may damage the memory foam.  Obviously with it saturated with saliva, a quick wipe isn't going to do the trick.  I saw one post of a person using some baby shampoo.  Any other suggestions?  I don't want to damage the memory foam anymore, or disturb the glue that holds it in place.

Thanks in advance.

Don't use water to clean it.  Use baby wipes that have no alcohol and no scent.

RE: AirTouch F20 Cleaning
Since the foam was saturated with saliva, baby wipes wouldn't do the trick.  I ended up trying some laundry soap like Woolite, and gently cleaning with lukewarm water.  After air drying, it is still a bit deformed, but seems a little better.  My main concern was the glue holding it in place, which seems to still be fine.  I haven't tried it yet, as I have another good mask.
