You want to make sure you aren't using a lye-based soap. Dr. bronners falls in this category and can take a bit of your seasoning off, at least if they haven't changed their soaps in 10 years. It shouldn't ruin your seasoning, but it can remove some of it and leave it a matte finish. Dawn and normal grocery store dish soaps won't hurt anything.
