One of 3 things happened:
1. They were probably running late and didn't get time to wash it before they left.
2. They made a couple of stops on the way home, illegally parked the shuttle, and it ended up getting impounded.
3. They went 4-wheeling.

Probably from micrometeor impacts for one thing. Or collecting pollution on the way down. Or, more likely, it's what happens to the tiles once they're exposed to the extreme temperatures of descent. They only use those things once.

You would be dirty if you flew into outer space as well.

Maybe it was just smoke from the Middle East.
