I can't say for sure since I never used the lemon/vinegar solution idea much. But it does affect the quality of the vulcanized rubber surface to give it a more flat, almost "porous" appearance. I was afraid that after regular use, the solution treatment might affect the rubber in some negative fashion (more brittle, less firm........not sure, just didn't like the looks of the results).

I don't have a problem with the wipes as of now. In fact it looks like this could be a great way to solve the mineral deposit problem. The mouthpiece vulcanized rubber looks fine, unlike the vinegar/lemon juice method.

Again NOT water, the ingredient most likely to be the active component is the tocopheryl acetate though there are others in there that might be more key. Any chemists out there with baby wipes or flushable wipes who might know?

[tocopheryl acetate is the ester of acetic acid....the main component of vinegar. so there's no getting around vinegar.]
