I'll second that. My 18" is full of electronics, fans, drives in the base, and I have washed the mirror with warm water + detergent then rinse with distilled.
Place scope outside, at about 30 degree elevation. Plastic sheet under mirror box to catch and drain water away. Done on a nice warm day, even if some water gets near the electrics, it will not matter.
