How To Remove Dried Acrylic Paint From a Plastic Palette

I'm testing how to remove dried acrylic paint from a plastic paint palette. I tried four ways to clean an acrylic paint palette. I've been using this same palette for years and I rinse it with water after each use. That gets off the wet paint, but acrylic paint dries so fast that the palette has layers and layers of dry paint I can't get rid off. I searched for how to remove dried acrylic paint from a plastic palette or how to clean an acrylic paint palette and this is what I found and tried and how they worked out.

The first thing I tried was soaking the palette in hot water and then scratching off the paint with a knife. I also tried adding some dishwashing liquid to the water and soaking the palette again. The next thing I tried after drying the palette was painting matte medium over the paint palette and hoping the paint layers would stick to it when it dries and then being able to peel the paint off. While letting the matte medium dry, I tried one more method: nail polish remover. I put some nail polish remover on a cotton pad and just wiped the palette.
