No soap,ever! Use a plastic mesh scrubber or stiff brush and water to scrub.
When I finish cooking on cast iron, I put about an inch of water in it and let it boil while we eat. (I don't do much deep fat frying, but needless to say you would drain the oil out first). Then I pour out the excess water, scrub if necessary, and put it back on the burner to get really dry. I coat it lightly on the inside with Crisco shortening on a paper towel, and cook on the burner on med. high until it just starts to smoke. I use old kitchen hand towels between my set of cast iron skillets for storage.

For initial seasoning the best choice is something with a neutral flavor like canola oil. I've restored dozens of vintage cast iron pots and pans and the best I've found is Pam Original cooking spray. It goes on thin and evenly. If your cast iron has a sticky or tacky feel to them you've done it wrong.
Soap and is a no-no, so too are acidic foods. For cleaning there are yellow colored scotch Brite pads made for cleaning glass cooktops. They work beautifully. Good luck..

Just got one myself. I'm reading lots of different views on this.....
I'm going to just cook some bacon on it. But I guess the must-dos are:
Simple wipe clean
Heat excess water out
Rub with oil
Heat again
?

Best way to clean this cast iron grill pan? 1st piece of cast iron I've gotten that wasn't bought clean. What's the easiest way to get rid of the rust and some sticky black residue? Salt and potato?
Or should I just chunk the grill pan and get a skillet?

I would season it myself when I got it home from the store to give it a new coat of Crisco/oil on the thing.
