What can I do to salvage them?
I use acetone and "Old Master" tung oil with varnish when I refinish mine.

I soak them overnight in a sealed jar of acetone then use a brillo pad to get all the dirt, grime and urathane off.

After it is all off i go over them again with a lint free cloth and more acetone to make sure everything is clean.

I allow them to dry which only takes a few minutes.

I then use another lint free cloth to apply several thin coats of "Old Masters" Tung oil with varnish. I wipe off the excess inbetween coats and allow to dry. I usually apply one to two coats per day with complete drying in between coats.

Depending on the desired look you can add a urathane to them, but I hardly ever do.
