Hello. I first remove all of the rust with a sos pad. Then I put it in the oven to make sure it is dried off. After it has cooled I oil it good and bake it some more. Good Luck!
I use steel hot water and Dawn dish soap, then steel wool, dry over stove heat. Pour olive in , wipe around the sides and out side. OR, if very old and needs seasoned, I will clean as I suggested and season with heavy beef suet over wood fire.
