Should I use soapy water in a cast iron pan?

Not a good idea. Cast iron is greased and "seasoned" by being heated, which seals pores in the iron pan. Using soapy water strips that away- it will rust, food will stick to it. Most can be wiped clean. If it does get the soapy water treatment, renew the seasoning by wiping it with oil, heating it in the oven and let it cool.
