PLA not staying on print bed - P1S

Troubleshooting

I am loving my Bambu P1S but recently it's started to fail prints significantly more often. I've used only a mix of PLA Basic and Silk+ and have alternated between 0.2 and 0.4 regular nozzles depending on the print. I've had this printer for roughly 2 months now, with it running roughly 70% of the time I've had it.

On both the smooth plate and the textured plate, first layer adhesion is constantly failing with both nozzles. Washing the plates with soap then water after every print helped for a bit but now having the same issue anyways. I've also cleaned around the nozzle when PLA builds up from the nozzle picking it up when moving around. I've noticed that some filaments adhere better than others, like my PLA Basic Grey would do better than my PLA Basic Black, but will still occasionally fail. My filament has always been in an AMS 1 or sealed box with silica, but I haven't invested in a filament dryer yet.

Increasing the bed heat by 5ºC increased success, but only marginally

Is this a levelling issue? I've tried so many solutions with not much success, and I have a hard time believing that I need to replace the build plates or the nozzles already.

Thanks for the help
