[LEFT]I have seen the asked on the forum before, but cant find a definitive answer,
My question is, what is the best thing to clean a heat plate /platen with? as I see that there are several black marks & dots on mine that need cleaning off. I have always wiped it with a general household surface cleaning spray, but wondered if there was an industry standard cleaner that I can use? I see that [/LEFT]isopropyl Alcohol[LEFT] was mentioned, so is that a good product for regular cleaning of the heat plate?

Also, I can get a nice clean print (sub) on the 1st tee of a run (small runs usually, 3-6 garments) then marks, dots seem to appear. Are the unwanted sub dye marks more likely to be coming from the plate, or the Teflon sheet? I have tried using both Teflon sheet and white paper, and have had it happen either way.

Any help / advice would be very gratefully received.

Thanks,

ALWAYS use baking paper below garment to protect silicone and on top to protect top late. Each garment - new paper. There is no other way. For perfection, i mean. Its aprox. 5 cents per press.

I clean my with window cleaner. it does the job.
