Default cleaning foam puzzle mat

so have one of those big foam puzzles (with the letters cut out in the squares all different colors) that we used to cover the hard wood floor for ds before I could find a rug that I liked. My question is now that I found a rug and want to put the puzzle away how in the world do I clean it?!?!?!?

thanks!

I just wipe it down with sponge (lysol wipe if you want to disinfect). It's a very user friendly mat!

Since it's used by kids, I clean mine with Simple Green and then rinse, soak in clean water, and rinse again.

soap and water in the bath tub and let them air dry. You can also scrub them and hose them down outside.

Bathtub! line them up in the tub to one side, use a scrub brush or sponge on both sides, push the washed to the other side or take out to soak in a pail (or 3, lol!) of cold water.

We got one as a hand me down that was really dirty. We put it in the dishwasher and it came out clean with no damage.

ITA!
Or I'd be tempted to throw them in the washer if it was a front loader. I put legos/megabloks in a net bag and wash them in the front loader.
