I hose down the suit with fresh water for a minute or two by standing underneath a shower head. I am lucky that my normal dive site has fresh water showers. When washing, I make sure I hose down the exhaust valve to remove any salt. At home, I wax the zipper, then open and close the zipper three or four times to work the wax in. Then I store my drysuit hanging with the zipper open.
 
1) blow out the pee valve. what? don't lie to me, you do it too.

2) hang it upside down with the outer zip closed.

once in a while larry gets grossed out & puts vinegar & alcohol into my pee valve, and i talc every couple of times & wax occasionally. i never wash it, which is sort of odd because i wash the wetsuit every time.
