Same here. Although for scraping I use a plastic scraper instead of steel wool. Once the pan is clean I put some oil in it and heat it up for a while. That's all and works really well.

I use a stiff bristle brush without soap. I just run hot water into the pan and then go to work, scrubbing the bottom and the sides of the pan until clean. I towel dry the pan and then set it on the stove top overnite before putting it away. Two sizes of pan and a dutch oven all receive the same treatment. I rarely use my expensive alloy pots and pans any more.

Lodge makes a good plastic scraper with a different radius on each corner, but really any hard piece of plastic will work.
