I've never had a problem cleaning CI. If it's really bad I boil water in it and take a scrub brush to it. After dumping the water I generally give it a sweep with a plastic pad. If it's just a lot of grease I let the dog have at it first.
Why do you need soap? If it's not too bad I just use hot tap water and a stiff brush. Water is the best solvent and when you go to use the pan again you'll probably heat it into the 400 degree range.More than enough to sterilize. Lets face it, why do you need a super clean pan to put raw chicken in?
I don't want to use anything that is harder than the seasoning.
