I guess it depends a little on what exactly the stains are and what "conventional methods" you've already tried.

A soak in vinegar or lemon juice will remove the white-ish mineral deposits that precipitate out of saliva when it dries. I put my mouthpieces tip down in a shot glass of vinegar for an hour or so, then rinse it and wipe it off.

I'm surprised to read that soap will remove these deposits, but a soapy rinse will certainly take off other kinds of dirt that might get onto the rails.

I'm not sure what cleaning properties you'd get from baby wipes that would be better than plain dish soap.
