wetsuit, and whatever else I was wearing go straight to the washing machine when I get home - it's a front loader with 'ultra' delicate cycle - typically hang dry after that - though I have put it in the dryer on gentle-ist cycle as well

if its a multi day trip, rinse after every use, hang inside out

I don't like funk or any of those fungus that cause itches.

Hose my wetsuit every time. Pop it in the washing machine, front loader, with some wetsuit soap when it starts to get smelly. Probably every 4-6 trips.

This is pretty much my routine too. Never used wetsuit soap tho, just a tiny amount of reg detergent to knock out the fish slime smell.

I’ve always tried to rinse all drysuit, dry tops, bibs, wetsuits and booties after each use. This will greatly extend the life of your gear. Sometimes I just use the hose and spray them down, but for heavier fish goo, blood and stank I like to fill up a bin with water and then add some wetsuit/drysuit shampoo from McNett and let soak before hand washing inside and out-then hang dry. I highly recommend a great product that I periodically like to add into the water as a deodorizer that was formally called Mirazyme and is now sold under the label Revivex Oder eliminator. Worth every penny!

This is combo right here.  The McNetts shampoo is great, but that Mirazyme works wonders on stank wetsuit and socks/booties.
If you ain't first, you're last.
