How to make cleaning plastisol easier? Becomes dry and super difficult to get off screen

So as the title says, I printed on shirts, but the plastisol ink was so stuck on the screen and so thick , cleaning after a session of printing was so tedious and annoying . Sprayed citrus screen opener which kinda helped. Did a lot of spraying with pressure washer and scrubbed a lot and after cleaning it made some pinholes! How do I avoid this for next time :( vey frustrating. can I just leave it on the screen if it’s almost near gone and let it dry ?
