If printing PLA, put a brine (salt solution) on your bed. PLA bonds with salt when warmed up (heated bed) and loses its bond when cooled off.

Here's a scientific paper about it. :) https://medialibrary.uantwerpen.be/oldcontent/container11343/files/bonding_pla_with_salt_water_v20160713.pdf

A brine is a much cleaner solution than the usual advices of hairspray or tape. Just be careful not to put salt on your electronics.
