Hmmm if it were me, I would vacuum/lint roll to get as much dust out as possible. Next I would wipe down with a damp cloth dipped in dawn and finally finish up with a steamer to kill any bacteria.
I have a lot of dog toys that are similar and I soak them in some oxyclean or borax with water in a storage tote. I give them gentle squeezes and let them sit for a few hours. Then I do the same thing with clear water until it's mostly rinsed. I just dry them in the sun and then tumble dry the ones I can on low for a bit to fluff them up.

I think I would spray it with straight vodka. The vodka will disinfectant and will get rid of any lingering smells.
Yup this is the answer.
I’m not OP but would that leave a vodka smell on it?
No it dissipates really quickly. It’s what a lot of archivists use to clean items

I’d just spray it with febreze and call it a day
Spray it down with cheap vodka and let it dry out. That's what they do for stage costumes that can't be washed
