To answer Paul's latest question, baby wipes always contain a detergent, generally one which has been selected to be less irritating to skin than some other detergents. For example, some Pampers wipes contain caprylic triglyceride.

As far as the clarinet mouthpiece is concerned, the type of detergent probably doesn't matter. The deposits are mixtures of calcium salts, bits of dead skin, and oily gunk from whatever was floating around in your mouth after lunch. The detergent helps break all this stuff up.

So you could dip a soft polishing tissue or cloth (of the type used to clean eyeglasses, for example) into water containing a little dish soap, and probably get the same result.

If you alternate a vinegar treatment with a detergent treatment (I would do them separately), the result might be even better.
