Since  then, I've used an iron and damp cloth as you would if steaming out
crushed  wood veneer, and the results are well worth it.

(follow-up with a  dry-warm pressing with the iron)

I also recommend bolstering wippen  heels if possible/necessary with bushing
cloth, if they don't have this  already.

Anything that restores the charactristics of a new well-made  part, and
lasts, is worth a try!

Another thing I do with wippen cushions is remove the black  residue with a 
brass brush, the ones you use when soldering brass pipe. It  fluffs up the felt 
a little. I will then also use a voicing needles to "voice"  the cushion to 
soften them even more.
