Another good synonym would be scummed. Like, "He only used our bathroom once, but the toilet was permanently scummed."
Ickify makes me think of the show "Taboo-worst places to work" on the National Geograhic channel last night. They had the worst smelling job listed as the Tannery in Morrocco. And it wasn't the smell of decaying flesh, it was the smell of pigeon droppings (their secret, not so secret, ingredient) to soften the animal skins. They all got in the nasty pools barefoot and in shorts to do the work. There were many tourists who wanted to ickify their day, by taking a tour of the tannery. Yuck!!!
