Hi Lizzy, sorry you have rust on your iron skillet. Once you clean and season it, I hope it will become your favorite skillet. Remove all the rust: Use fine steel wool to remove rust from affected areas. Scour the skillet until the area returns to raw cast iron. Wash the skillet thoroughly: Wash the cast iron with warm water and mild dish soap. Scrub with bristle brush, gentle scouring pad, or mesh sponge if needed.May 6, 2014 How To Restore a Rusty Cast Iron Skillet | Kitchn

I always just clean it and then wipe it with olive oil, then let it sit.
