most likely this is what Blinky said.  It’s a model that’s been hollowed out and the liquid resin inside is now leaking through.  I think the only thing that you can do is keep them away from sunlight and clean them regularly, ideally with Iso Propyl Alcohol (surgical spirit) and a soft toothbrush.  Eventually (in theory) it will stop leaking on its own because there’s only a finite amount of liquid resin inside.  However what you don’t want is for the leaking resin to set – which it will in sunlight – and clog the details.  I can’t guarantee that you can salvage the models unfortunately, but there is a chance that they’re not totally beyond redemption but you do need to act quickly.

The cold air might seem like it has stopped it but that could just be because the resin will naturally start to thicken at lower temperatures.  If this ends up being totally unsalvageable, as a random act of kindness to a fellow gamer, I have lots of furniture STLs on my PC, if you tell me what you need I shall 3D print you some replacements and mail them to you all Free Of Charge.
