My grandmother and my mother always washed their cast iron skillets in soapy hot water. They just didn't ever let them soak. In the water, quick wash with the dish cloth and then right back out to be rinsed with hot water. Then set on the stove over a burner - let it heat and watch the moisture disappear. All dry with no moisture remaining in 30 seconds over a gas flame, let sit a few minutes and store.
