Do you need to wash a bamboo steamer a specific way?

I got a bamboo basket/steamer today and (as with all things) I'm going to wash it before use. I heard somewhere once that you are not supposed to use soap on bamboo cooking utensils. Whether this is true or not, I don't know. I just want to if I need to take special care when washing it.

(P.S. I am not going to put it into the dishwasher for those of you who might have mentioned not to do that)

Do you need to wash a bamboo steamer a specific way?
When cleaning the steamer, be sure to avoid using detergent -- the bamboo will absorb the flavor of the soap, so instead simply rinse with water.
