My cheapskate self saw on a local mom's swap/sale site a foam playmat. I purchased it for $10 bucks... great deal right? I didn't ask too many questions because I'm too trusting because it is a fellow mom site (hitting myself over the head). When I picked the mat up it was package really nicely in a crate and barrel bag.

I got home and there is fur.... everywhere on the mats. I tried washing one tile to see if that is easy to remove... and that was a pain and it still had fur embedded in the foam. I tried the lint brush and that helped a little, but it took about 15 min to clean one tile.

Is there a good way to remove fur and dirt on the foam playmats? Or should I just chalk this up as a loss and just chuck the whole thing in the trash. TIA!
