[Equipment] Cleaning wipes for Airfit F20 mask?

Cleaning wipes for Airfit F20 mask?
I've been using Citrus Magic CPAP Mask Cleaner Wipes to clean my Airfit F20 mask and have no complaints.  A friend of mine uses alcohol-free baby wipes, which are cheaper.  I'm wondering whether the Citrus Magic wipes are in any way more effective, or better for the mask.  I'm willing to pay more if the Citrus Magic wipes are even slightly better, but if they're equal to ordinary baby wipes I would just go with the baby wipes.  Any opinions?

I just use Clorox Anti-Bacterial wipes. They do have a strong aroma, but it dissipates quickly enough. We always have some around the house. 

I'm not sure there's an actual way to gauge one wipe being any better than the other. Juts personal preference maybe?  Eat-popcorn

Walmart CPAP wipes here most of the time - otherwise baby wipes.

I just use baby wipes every day. Then once or twice a month I wash with baby shampoo and water.

I would bet even money the Citrus Wipes are baby wipes with citrus smell added. There are only so many soaps that can be used to safely wipe things clean. Absent some sort of solvent I can't see a mask made of polystyrene and silicone rubber being damaged by either a special CPAP wipe or a baby wipe.

What also works is a clean microfiber cloth and one drop of liquid hand soap which is rinsed clean after each use and with some time will have a cost of $0.01 per use.
