Another thing you should note is that you should never use water and soap to clean it because it can potentially ruin any cast-iron cookware by turning it rusty.
If you purchase cast-iron cookware before you do anything you need to make sure you correctly seasoned so you need to make sure you are familiar with this process before using it.

In order to make sure that your castiron cookware lasts you need to make sure you maintain it will. If you find it is starting to host a little bit or oil is missing you need to make sure you clean it properly in hot-water and enjoying it thoroughly. You then need to make sure you heat up your own to around 250° you then need to use some oil and simply smear a little bit on the surface and use something like paper kitchen towel to smear the inside of the cast-iron cookware with the oil.
