If your cast iron pan is well seasoned it can be cleaned as easily as a
non-stick pan. Sponge or scrub lightly under running, not soapy,
water, put back on heat to dry thoroughly. Rub in a little oil if
needed. This assumes you've not let it sit out dirty for hours for
crud to become crusty or sticky. If you have had to do that, then soak
the pan for a while.

If you find the pan needs heavy scrubbing to remove stuck-on stuff,
then it's not seasoned well to begin with. Check rfc archives (or
google this group) for many long passionate descriptions of how to
season your pan. -aem
