Use "soap" if you want. Modern dishwashing liquid doesn't have lye in it. It's the lye from old school rendered soap that damages the seasoning.

Don't use anything with an abrasive more than the rough side of a sponge, and even with that, don't rub super hard or in the same place for too long.

This thread is full of people claiming that dish soap doesn't contain lye, but the most popular dish soap I'm aware of, Dawn, contains lye and that's easily found in a two second Google search.

Interesting. Sodium hydroxide.

Well, while I don't use Dawn, I do use dishwashing liquid, whatever happens to be in the house, and I've never had a bit of trouble with it.
