Default Best Way to Clean Heat Press

I was just wondering what different methods you guys use to clean the upper platen of your heat press. I have always used a soft damp cloth but I thought perhaps there are better methods out there. I just got a press out of storage the other day and the platen is quite sticky right now. I want to get it as close to new as possible. Thanks guys!

Does anyone have a non-ebay link to that cleaner? The auction has ended.
