Default washing and drying Nu Foam

A question for anyone who has used Nu Foam as a filler for a sewn item:

I have used this product to fill my dogs crate cushions and I love it as it doesn't seem to retain "doggy odor" or get musty smelling, I have a washable quilted cover on the beds. The big dogs crate pad is 4" thick and 24" x 36".

Well last week he was sick and urinated on his bed. I washed the cover with a little vinegar and machine dried it and thats fine. Then I rinsed and then washed the Nu Foam in my tub with vinegar. I squeezed it as much as I could and then set it out on old towels to dry. A whole week later and the inside still is really wet! Its the center of the cushion. I split the edge with my hand and stuck my hand in and its full of water.

Any ideas about how to get the dang thing dry? Do you think I could tumble it on low heat for a while?
