Vinegar to remove rust, then an oven cleaner or lye soak to remove seasoning/built up gunk, then re-season. That’s sort of the easy way but I’ve restored a few vintage cast iron pieces via electrolysis and it works phenomenally well, there’s a few youtube videos that show how and you probably have everything you need at your home right now.
