DO NOT SPIN...I would soak it in a big plastic tub of water (or a bathtub), then drain and smoosh out all the water you can, but no spinning or wringing. If you can get most of the water out you could lay it on a sheet on the floor to finish drying. It could also be rolled up in a large towel or two to help take out excess water.
