just leave it!

in seriousness, i do leave it, and it goes over various cleans, providing custy has ripped most off, to leave root things.

Forget it. Once a plant has grown over the frames it takes ages and ages of painstaking scraping, etc to remove (and then it's seldom perfect). We tell all customers prevention is best.
Don't get caught and waste time and money.
