Well, in my part of the country it is warm much of the year, and I have hosed it down, used oxyclean mixed with water in a spray bottle (seems good with stains and odors) and then left it out in full sun to dry. The southern full sun also helps to naturally “bleach” things and seems to help with odor. Another option is to take it to the cleaners and so what they can do and for what price. If its an inexpensive one, might be better to start over. If it was new this school year, hose it down and use detergent or Oxyclean and then leave it out in the sun or find a large comercial dryer ON LOW to MED not HOT. If they get too hat they will “melt.”
