Default degreaser question

I'm getting some wispy undyed streaks on my parts and I'm almost positive that it's from the degreasing step. One thing I've noticed is that my degreaser looks like it has a white slurry suspended in it. When I stir it the whole solution becomes white and when I let it sit the slurry settles to the bottom. So, my question is if that is normal or if that's an indication that my degreaser has gone bad?

And two more quick ones about glove cleanliness: should I worry about my gloves being dirty from touching my surroundings and affecting the part? And, can I touch the parts with gloved hands before the dying step or should I avoid that completely?
