    Modern soaps/detergents don’t contain lye, which is what ruins the seasoning. It’s the humid drying of a dishwasher that causes it to rust. Nothing to with the detergent.

        As a mild ph adjuster, you would have to soak your cast iron in Dawn (platinum only) for hours, which would ruin your seasoning no matter the detergent used.

            I do, the lye is not to aid in cleaning and it doesn’t have enough to ruin a seasoning.

            There’s a difference between knowing something is in it, and why it is in it and what it can do.

            Soda has caustic and corrosive ingredients, it doesn’t mean it’s going to dissolve your intestines lmfao.
