I've had a MK4S for over a week now, and 100% of the prints I've tried to make on the textured sheets have partially or totally failed. PLA prints beautifully on the smooth sheet, but PLA, PETG and ABS, I think I could print on the surface of a 10 inch tank of oil with more success than the textured sheet. Plastic doesn't stick to it. I've wiped it with isopopyl, I've washed it with dawn...it's a bad print surface and I want my money back.

Seems like great success? If so, great. The only things about your routine I would change is to not submerge, not because that's bad but because who wants to obsess over cleaning their sink first, and use paper towels to dry. You want to make sure no films are transferred to the bed.
