It's that easy if you do it right. In the old good days, they were cleaned
with sand and a burlap bag, and very little sand at that. Most people who
have a problem with "maintaining" cast iron want it to be spotless and
shiny, which is akin to today removing that annoying Teflon (insert your
favorite no stick) coating.
