If you plan to keep the stencil and screen to re-use, than buy screen wash at a screen printing supply shop, or some people use mineral spirits which can be found at most hardware stores such as Home Depot. Rub the image with shop towels, or clean cloth and continue until ink is gone from the mesh.
:EDIT: sorry that was for plastisol ink, nazdar is waterbased ink i believe it can be washed with water.

I don't know what type of ink Nazdar is, but if it is waterbased then soapy water will do the trick.
However by the time you read this message, if you haven't already done that your screen will most likely be ruined. If you've already tried washing it with water though, what you're seeing might be staining rather than major problem causing blockages. Hold it to the light and you should be able to tell more easily.
Nazdar cleaning?!?!!
