Six years is iron on the Emily Post Institute’s classic list and wood objects on its modern one. Lodge’s care rule for bare cast iron takes three steps: wash in warm soapy water (soap is fine), dry it completely, then rub in a thin layer of oil. Never the dishwasher, which strips the seasoning, and no soaking, which brings rust.
