I keep a box of the alcohol prep wipes near my printer. Give it a good wipe down before every print, does wonders. Sometimes when that fails, I clean the plate with dawn and water and dry it off really good. Then give it another once over with the alcohol
if you do a lot of PETG and PLA, you should probably make sure that you have different printing plates or surfaces. Because they won’t play well together in the long term.
Truthfully it was so long ago I can’t even recall why I got the PETG to begin with.
For my purposes PLA has always worked fine. The only other filament I’ve really been interested in is tpu, but I think I want to end up getting something dedicated for that type of work… If I convince myself it’s worth it.

I prefer micro fiber cloth and rubbing alcohol. There’s an stl where you cut the micro fiber into strips and attach it to thee face of a “scrubber”. Gives you a handle ti hold and a flat surface to put against the print plate.
