How should I clean my old sock monkey?

My parents and I got into the attic and found a whole bunch of our old toys.  And my sock monkey is in there and dd LOVES it!  But, I can't figure out how to clean it.  I've wiped it off but it still smells and looks dingy. 

Any suggestions on how to wash it?  It's about 30 years old and has a little hole in the tail.

  • I would put it through the washing machine on a gentle cycle, maybe with woollight depending on the material it's made out of.  I wouldn't put it in the dryer though, give it a couple days to dry out really well.  Also sew up the little hole in the tail before washing it.  My DD has a sock monkey too and she loves it!
  • Maybe wash it in a lingerie bag.  That's how I wash DD's bunny (see avatar pic) that I am so terrified of ruining.
