Never Use Dish Soap To Clean A Pizza Stone
Better is to say not to use any kind of detergent, soap, or chemical to clean a pizza stone.
A pizza stone is a natural product and contains pores.
These pores will absorb your dish soap and or other chemicals you use and ruin the stone.
It will leave a very nasty taste the next time you use the Pizza stone.

The pizza stone will never look like new again
As I mentioned it is a natural product and will discolor after use.
There will also be little remains of your previous pizza in the little cracks.
When I did the Ooni pizza oven reviews I did not read too much about this, so it might be more on a grill than in an oven.
This will not cause any problems, because the stone gets heated over and over again and the remains will burn off.
