How clean is your cast iron?

[Badjak]

Just hot hot water in general.
If necessary, I may use soap.
But too be honest, I find most things quite easy to clean with just hot water, as long as the water is really hot. I do not use a lot of dish washer

Soap and water here then straight to the stove for a heat up and a shot of oil, I don't let them stand in soapy water because it will peel the coating, I also don't cut any thing in them, move to something else and saw away.ymmv

i try to avoid too much water, i usually use some mortons salt and a paper towel to get rid of the stuck on bits and a little fat or oil once its all clear.
