You should be rinsing with hot water and scraping all the gunk off with a plastic scraper. No soap, and wait until the stone is fully cooled.

What you really need to do is cook fatty things on it to season the stone. Biscuits, rolls, cookies, things like that. The fat will coat the surface and build up a coat of non-stick seasoning.

You can also lightly spray Pam or other cooking spray every time you cook with it. It'll make foods slide right off, and getting charred cheese off becomes trivial.

After cleaning, wait until it is thoroughly dry before using and always put a stone into a cold oven. Personally, I always leave mine in and only take it out for cleaning.
