I would suggest covering it up with Teflon covers or cover sheets in the meanwhile if you have those available. Good luck.

I have tried a mild grit hand cleaner & it is not working, I am still getting build up. We pre-treat our color T-shirts before printing using a dupont pre-treat, then place them on the press, with coated craft paper on the T. We then press the T for about 30 sec. check to see if the pre-treat is dry, if notwe press for another 10-15 sec. I was wondering if the craft paper is getting damp & transfering to the top platen? When I clean them I feel the surface is a bit rough with a build up. I am about ready to usea fine sandpaper to use the press smooth again. Any ideas would help.
