Chlorine Dioxide works well too. Good luck getting any if you aren't the Government! ClO2 is what they used to disinfect the entire US Congress building when they suspected it was infected with antrax. I expect that pure chlorine gas would also work but not many people want to work with that.

Would microwaving the masks for a few seconds or more work.

About 1 roll of toilet paper.

Good old fashioned pressure cooker? - It's about as close to an autoclave as you're going to find at home.
