To store plates long-term when using the Senescence β-Galactosidase Staining Kit #9860, do I need to wash off the β-Galactosidase staining solution prior to overlaying with 70% glycerol?

In section C, part 8 of the Senescence β-Galactosidase Staining Kit #9860 protocol, you may overlay the plates with 70% glycerol directly after removing the staining solution. It is not necessary to wash off the staining solution prior to overlaying with glycerol.
