The obsession with cast iron like it is some kind of magic ritual is honestly really weird. After you cook with it, wash it with water and dry it with some paper towels, that’s it, no need to make it more complicated than it really is.
If things are sticking to your pan, use more oil in your pan; with enough oil, you can cook on a rock and make it nonstick.

Just wash it with dish soap like everything else, use a soft scrubber like everything else.
If you have an actual polymer layer, it won’t be harmed.
Dry it off, throw it on the burner. Get it hot, give it a touch of oil, and store it.
I mean it’s a lump of iron it still won’t be harmed you may just need to scrape some rust off and reseason.
Well, yes, but let’s not be intentionally obtuse eh?
“Harm” in this case refers to the seasoning (polymer layer), which takes time and effort to repair if it’s significantly damaged.
In the same way that scratching a wood floor is harming it (you can just resurface it), or denting your drywall is harm (you can just repair it).
