I hang it in my garage or backyard. I also bought some wooden hangers. Ikea has them

Ha! My parents did the same thing which is why I took over my own laundry at a young age :)

First, never buy anything "dry clean only" and if you have to, I typically use Dryel.

For normal laundry, only bras with underwire get hand washed. Everything else gets washed on warm/cold, gentle cycle. I use Charlie's Soap laundry detergent- no dyes/fragrance/etc; it's really cheap and gets clothes cleaner than most liquid detergents I've tried.

I hang dry all of my everyday shirts, bathing suits, and anything else delicate (like nice underwear or Spanx). Everything else- cotton underwear, workout clothes, pants, etc- I dry on medium heat.

Since we have limited space, we use these for hang drying:

Wrote this for someone else... Copy/paste for you:

I grew up outside the first world for the most part, so washing by hand was a bit more natural to me. It's a bit of work, but a lot cheaper than paying for laundry, and much more convenient than traipsing off to the laundromat after every class. I've done this in a kitchen sink as well as a bathtub, so I know either will work. Also, I'd wash all the rest of your bjj clothes (undergarments, spats, rashguard, etc) at the same time. No point in letting them sit around sweaty.

OK, the first thing you're going to need is to get it soaked through with soapy water. Put the plug in the sink (everything applies the same in the bathrub, use whichever you prefer) and fill it up about 4-5 inches. Add the soap to the water and dissolve it in there. I'd use cool/cold water unless you're trying to shrink your gi. Add your bjj items one at a time starting with the gi jacket (it's the thickest piece). You want to make sure everything gets entirely saturated with soapy water-you should be able to tell by touch when it is. Just shake it around, rub it against itself a little, etc.

So you've gotten everything soapy-let it sit for a little-maybe 10 minutes. Then go and start hand washing your underthings, then your pants, then top. Google for instructions on hand washing, it's the same thing, you just are working with tougher material (ignore any instructions about 'hand wash only' items-washing delicates is a separate thing, nothing you're doing here is delicate). Basically you swish it around, scrunch it up, expand it, have it run against itself and the other items in the sink. You'll get the hang of it fairly quickly.

Then, empty the sink and fill it with clear water. You'll need to rinse most items 3 times or so, agitating them and squeezing and such to get all the soap out. If you have two sinks you can use them both here, working in one while the other fills.

Once that's done, wring your items out and hang them up. In the sun is best, over tile is good if indoors, or lay a towel or something to catch the drips. If your climate is cool and humid you might need a fan or the like to get enough airflow to dry them. Also, you almost Certainly will need to turn the gi inside out after 12 hours or so if you're not leaving it outside to dry.

I've used http://www.amazon.com/Household-Essentials-Collapsible-Indoor-Clothes/dp/B002E3KYTS/ with some thick plastic hangers both indoors and out, and I've been pleasantly surprised by how nice 'Charlie's Soap' brand laundry soap has worked, but any should work fine.

Don't worry too much about ruining anything-your gi is made of tough stuff. It's your knuckles and forearms that are going to get beat up during this process.

Sure, here is my whole setup for my apartment:
Washing Machine
Pants drying stand
Everything else drying stand
Sock hanger
drip dry hangers
Pants hangers - although I got my hangers at WalMart and they have rubber on the clips

In retrospect I would actualy recommend getting this or the tri-arm rack and this as the big drying rack thing is a bit overkill when you have the sock hanger. You could get two sock hangers and hang them on the side of the shirt rack and dry everything you need in less space without having to fold anything over a bar, causing it to dry slower.

Also in the other thread it was recommended that I use all natural soaps instead of the generic detergent. I think thats it.

I like the washer, overall, it does its cycles so fast that I don't really have time to play games or something requiring concentration. I have been wearing the clothes washed in it for the past week and after the initial stiffness wears off they don't seem any different from a regular wash.

My one complaint is that the hoses are cheap, so I might figure out a replacement for those sometime next month. Also, I had to go to youtube to figure out how to use it properly

Oh man, I struggled with this for SO LONG. It doesn't feel right hanging up worn clothes right next to my clean clothes, even if I consider them 'clean' enough to wear again.

After a million years of keeping them in crumpled piles somewhere, I finally got this compact laundry/drying rack. I keep it in the corner of my bedroom and anything that's in this 'in between stage' gets hung on it. Keeps everything separate, unwrinkled, and I also have a good visual of what I need to wear again before I start dirtying more clothes. I love it so much.

I would wash your clothes often... dress shirts I wash after 2 wears if I didn't really sweat and wore an undershirt. T shirts and other stuff that touches skin directly I wash after every wear. I use http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002E3KYTS/ref=ox_ya_os_product_refresh_T1 and find it a decent solution. (I got it when it was 20 though, not sure why its so expensive now)

I have this. It folds away quickly, needs very little space and you can hang multiple gi’s on it.

I have a [tripod-style drying rack] (http://www.amazon.com/Household-Essentials-Collapsible-Indoor-Clothes/dp/B002E3KYTS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449867941&sr=8-1&keywords=hang+away+drying+rack) similar to this one. You can fold it up when it's not in use so that it doesn't take up so much space. Love it!
