I imagine there are many ways to nicely clean cast iron but I ended up buying that little chain mail scrubber that Loge sells. I rinse it, sometimes with hot water, scrub it fairly well, then put it on the stove and heat the water away so it doesn't rust.
No particular oiling regime?
Oh right. Every now and then (maybe every year or two if I've been using it a lot or if it starts getting a little gnarly) I'll use a tiny bit of soap when I clean it then I'll re-oil it, usually with olive oil. Maybe not best practice but it's been working fine for me.
Thank you!
