Flushing Out Fabric Softener

[Merrill49@AOL.COM]

Hi List:

Another technician sprayed the hammers of a school Yamaha P22 with an unknown 
fabric softener solution some years back.  The hammers have developed a 
crispy surface at the strike point resulting in a brittle sound.  I recall 
y'all discussing flushing out treated hammer felts with a solution.  What is 
a good solution mix to use?  I assume I would need to remove the hammers from 
the action and dip the ends in the solution to keep from making a mess.  
Right?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks.
