I'm not in the habit of washing my plates very often (I know!) but I wanted to share a tip with any newbies out there, that I originally saw here, but don't see mentioned enough. White Cotton Gloves.

If I am touching a plate, I wear white cotton gloves. Putting in, taking out, switching, washing. I got a couple pairs for cheap online and keep them next to my printer. I do still occasionally have to do a Dawn and water wash, but I hardly ever have first layer issues.

For some of you, this will be old news I know, but I hope this helps others.
