I use Windex (window cleaner with ammonia  in it) on the parking pad overnight to dissolve the clog.  Usually after sitting in it for a night a cleaning cycle will clear it.

But, the speed with which it is happening  to your printer is  unusual.  It may be a bad parking station.  You might see if you can clean the edges of it.  Also, keep the humidity where the printer is high if you can.  If you're in a dry or  high elevation area, consider a cover over the printer to keep moisture in the machine -- like a sealed bag, possibly with a wet sponge  inside (the printer waste tank in the base of the printer ought to do this).  If the printer is the type of has covers that  close, use  them to keep it  as sealed as possible when not in use.

Good  luck  with it.
