I'd like to report that everyone who said detergent and elbow grease couldn't fix plasticiser precipitation is a fucking moron. It might take a few water changes, overnight soaking, brushing and multiple rounds of buffing, a rinse, and air dry but there is absolutely zero sensation of tackiness remaining. Under a strong light you can definitely see the semi fluid layer sitting in the cracks and on top of the plastic. I'll be testing the stickiness every few days for the next year to determine if this is an actual semi permanent fix or temporary relief.
Dumped water had a noticeable yellow tinge and left a slick residue. Changing water multiple times is critical.
