I would suggest using just water and salt if you need an abrasive. Also, boiling water will help to take off food that is stuck. Using a dishsoap that is designed to remove grease is counterproductive, since you want your cast iron cookware to stay seasoned. Plain old hot water will work wonders.

Do not soak it in water either, as this just promotes rust.
