As long as you’re not cleaning with lye, soap is generally fine. But if you’re going to be a bit lax on cleaning, the only real downside in my opinion is potentially introducing flavors you didn’t intend.
I think for the most part, you do you. If it looks visually fine, it’s probably good enough.
I’m just going to keep cleaning mine with three drops of goat’s blood, drying it with a linen towel, then storing it in a humidity-controlled cabinet with the handle pointing north, just like my guidance counselor taught me.
