No soap. The stone is porous, it soaks it up and your next pizza tastes of it. Let it cool completely, scrape anything stuck off with a plastic scraper, and wipe with a damp cloth. The dark stains are normal - leave them. Two things that crack stones: putting a cold or damp one into a hot oven, and running it under the tap while it's still hot.
