Warm water and a bit of soap, dawn or ivory seem to be the best options just avoid scrubbing antibacterial ect. I have also heard of mineral oil in the water that will also drown the mites. The goal is to kill the adults and kill all the eggs I don't freeze I just use steam or near boiling water and some scrubbing. the remaining issue is mites can walk quite far away from the enclosure and lay there so that vector must also be dealt with hence the DE or dri die it keeps the mites from returning.
This article will help you to understand what the mite is and how it reproduces so you can effectively break the cycle.
