When you have dinner and there are dishes to be done, do you leave them until morning or do them right then?

I usually start the dishes when I start making tea... so clean as I go then when we finish eating just wash out plates, cutlery & glasses and any other dishes from cooking then it is all done and I can sit down & relax and not have to worry about them... :)

I usually cleanup my dirty dishes right after my meals. Whenever I am cooking, I will directly clean up everything as I don't like to keep it like that even for about 10 minutes. 10 minutes will vanish my feeling for cleaning up. Recently my spouse is taking care of the dirty dishes after every meals as I m fully a chef at home.I don't care when he want to clean up those dirty dishes as for me as long as he will clean it up, then it his duty to think of when he need to clean up. But he must clean up before our next meal time comes.

dirty dishes - dirty dishes waiting on the sink to be cleaned
Prefer to clean right after, the more the time passes the less will to do it. I visited a friend that had a pile of dishes on the sink, it started to smell argh. Sure, no iron rule.

Dishes... I usually try to clean as I cook... when I can, otherwise, around 10:00pm or 10:30, I go ahead & do dishes & clean the kitchen from the day's adventures/experiments... Kind of a routine, yet seems to work... get ready 4 bed/work... Letterman... AC
