Meet my Max. He's a persian too (flame point) and yes, I have to wash his facie every day. His food dish is a ceramic one that I made and his water dish is a stainless steel bowl. I wash them both every morning. My Max has never had a problem such as you describe but I don't know if it's because of the dishes. I have to wash all around his eyes, cheeks and mouth every day sometimes several times a day. I do find that with my Max, diet played a role. Since I've cut him back on the wet food, it doesn't seem as bad. Wish I could offer more advice.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
