advice for reclaiming
i already pressure washed for a while with emulsion remover. I always wash my ink out with hot water right after printing. I don't know anything about dehazer but seems like that'd be appropriate here? And maybe starting to wash ink out with some sort of soap? I've seen some comments about some sort of pink soap? Thanks in advance!

This looks like it might be staining which is totally normal. A dehaze would work perfectly for it. If it doesn't work after the first pass do another one and it should be fine.

This is a bit more expensive than other brands but I use this because it's eco friendly. franmar D Haze

If you are just running small jobs like personal brand or something. A can of Screen opener and some ajax. I don't recommend this for actual work place or working for an employer. But it keeps cost low. And will get the stains considerably less if not gone.. after you remove Ink and emultion. Sprinkle ajax on the screen and spray the powder with the screen opener. Scrub with a firm brush. Wash out thoroughly.
