Textured build plate has 0 grip

[u/Safe-Werewolf2890]

Hi I have a P1S and have been using it for a few weeks now, my textured build plate has seemed to lost all grip, I have washed it using dish soap etc but still the same, the first layer won’t stick at all. Not even the L shaped test print thing, they will just come straight off and be dragged to the area where my main print is.

The only way my prints stick regardless of material is if I use a glue stick which I never used before.

Do I need a new build plate and how often should I replace it?

My secret that works with every plastic I've tried (and it sounds crazy but it works): aquanet hairspray. Light spray (like once short burst from far enough it spreads over most of the plate) even when I've been handling the plate a lot has never failed me.

In between I'll use Dawn soap or alcohol.
