I'm not going to post a whole lot of details on this right now, but I will say this: Through a freak accident, I managed to drop about 5 gallons of water onto my floor. And when the tank broke, a bunch of stuff fell on the floor, including my favorite plushie.

It is the same one I posted a pic of in this thread: http://leahalalela.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5247

Anyway, what I have done so far is shake a lot of the water out of the toy and blow dry it with a drier that has a cool setting so that it feels mostly dry or damp.

I plan to surface clean it and make sure its dry again, plus do some brushing. Am I going down the right path? Should I pop it in the big dryer inside a pillow case on low heat?

So far it seems to be OK, and it doesn't smell bad (about the same as before, actually) but I don't want to find out first-hand the effects of fishtank water on a plush.

Thanks for any advice.

EDIT: This post is kinda sparse, I know. More details will be coming.

And I think its starting to get kind of a musty smell. Not good.
