Consistent Filament Excrusion

I am brand new to 3D printing and my Prusa is my first printer. I set z height and got good results.  Now that I have been printing for a couple of weeks I have been having issues where it appears the head is putting out less filament.   I ran some cleaning filament through it and it improved a bit but then returned to what it is doing.   Should I be adjusting tension?   Should I be trying cold pulls?   Is there something else I should consider?   

I am using black Prusamint PETG to print the black extruder parts and the X axis parts.

The issue was solved by cleaning the sheet with dawn dish soap.   I had only been cleaning with 90% IPA.   Washed with Dawn and the issue is resolved.
