I've used salt before to clean off some stuck on gunk, but never really had a problem with what I cooked tasting like the last thing in the pot when I didn't use salt. I may start using it every time, and see if that helps.

I use hot soapy water all the time and that is nothing more than an old wives tale. Scrub it good, rinse and dry well then oil up. You should not taste whatever you cooked before. At least I never have and I've been cooking in my cast iron pots For thirty plus years.

I always use hot soapy water and then dry over a fire. If I am going to store it for several weeks or so I use Crisco on a paper towel while it is still hot to wipe it down.
