IMO, Wave Repair is about as good a cleaner as you can get. Not the
easiest nor the fastest though. Others in my dandies, see sig. An easy
one to use (pretty good too) is WavClean.

As far as the cleaning messing up the "magic", that is entirely possible
so clean a copy or save the cleaned wave as something else...IOW, be
sure you can get back to square one. Many cleaners will have some way
of setting how agressive they should be in noise removal; if so, set
minimally at first.
