most of them are quite clean

some have odd bits of pollen and some holes where i've gouged out moldy pollen

all re-usable or common sense? haven't treated but plan to try to keep on same colony
 
All reusable. Not sure what you would have treated them with. The bees will deal with mouldy pollen so don't worry too much about it unless it is a whole frame.

I use my super frames till they fall apart in the extractor and store them wet over winter. I just clean up the burr comb
