I use those industrial wipes, the ones that are soaked in a chemical and come in a bucket, they work a treat on everything.  :daumenhoch:

Yes , they can be seperated ... just use plenty fairy liquid to act as a lube (oooooh errrr  :D)

I have always cleaned my grips with swarfega and a tooth brush ..... come out great  ;)

Having said that , i have done a set of the Fuan's with white sleeves before and to get rid of that browning is tough , I never got shut of all that , it seems to have soaked into the rubber  :(

White rubber inherently yellows with time & light exposure , very much doubt you'll be able to get them bright white (all depends on the compound) but you should be able to bring them up much cleaner  :daumenhoch:
