I did some checking with some friends that are still firefighters where I
worked. It seems with all the junk that is normally in a fire, they now
have to concern themselves with pathogens, either from others or
terrorist actions.
They still use MSA cleaner:

but also clean in an ultrasonic bath to fully clean every last nook and
cranny. They say this stuff can be used in a manual wash as well,
they do so if the mask has not been used in a while. This stuff will
remove all gook and smell and does not attack the mask. They do take
the breathing tube off of the mask and when cleaned in the ultrasonic
bath, the exhaust flapper and its cover.
If enough people are using masks in their simulator, one person could
buy the bottle and sell smaller bottles from it to other simmers.
