Cleaning a 16" primary mirror

Hi all,

I have a 16" dob that has a thin layer of gunk that needs cleaning. It isn't just dust. A 16" mirror is quite large and heavy to try to soak in a sink or tub (as I have read most people do). In addition, there is a fan that is probably attached to the back of the mirror.
Ssooo.... I was wondering if anyone has cleaned a mirror using photographic lens cleaner and lint free wipes? Can it be done? I realise GSO mirror are fairly thinly coated so I wanted to ask around before trying anything.

Comments/suggestions appreciated!
