FP rainforest play mat

My sister gave me her Fisher Price rainforest play mat to use for my LO that is due 11/5. The play mat has been used her with both her DSs, now 3 yrs. and 1 yrs, so it has seen a considerate amount of wear. However, I feel with a tight budget the hand-me-down play mat is a good idea. Please let me know if you disagree and  feel I should spring for a new one. My real concern is how to clean it? Do I wash it or wipe it down? What would l wipe it down with? Also, she has dogs, so do I vacuum it?

I would really appreciate any advice on how to go about making the play mat as clean as possible for my upcoming LO. TIA!

    My cousin gave me a hand-me-down play mat. She has four kids. I don't know how many of them used it, but some did. I didn't think much of it because it wasn't something I had thought to get beforehand, but it became our most used baby item. It was a safe, clean area for DD to lay when I needed to do a couple things and she loved the lights, toys, music.

    Mine isn't the rainforest one, but it is FP. I just detach the leg things and wash the mat. I had to wash it OFTEN because of the spit-up factor, and it washed and dried fine. I wouldn't vacuum it.

    If it's cloth I would prob through it in thr washer. I also got mine from a friend and I just washed it. I wouldn't spring for a new one if that one will work. I have tons of items that have been handed down and I just cleaned everything and it has been wonderful nit having to get all new stuff.

    I have the fp rainforest mat and it can be washed in the washer and then hung to dry. wipe the toys with a baby toy cleaner wipe.

    it is a great playmat.

    just put the fabric parts in the washer and use a sanitizing wipe on the plastic ones
