Don't scrub it with metal scrubbers or you'll REALLY wear out the enamel.
Exactly, soap is no problem for enamel coating.

That being said, I use soap on my raw cast iron pan. I just dry & apply a film of oil immediately, never let it soak in the sink. It's seasoned perfectly. Did a couple of tenderloins in it last weekend because my bbq ran out of propane, and they came out perfect seared with no sticking.
