Cpap mask wipes making me break out

I think I am allergic to one of the ingredients in one of the more popular mask cleaning wipes. How and what can i use to clean my mask daily with out running it under water and waiting for it to dry?

It a shame because the wipes were so convenient.

I currently use the resmed activa mask which works well for me but would like to switch it up once in awhile and try something different. the mirage vista looks interesting, anyone use this mask, does it seal as good as the activa? I am due a new mask this month so any input would be appreicated.

I tried the ultra mirage but I did not like the way it fit. I would like to stay with the nasal masks because I tried a number of the...
