Get a Head Start

Always start your entertaining with an empty dishwasher, a clean kitchen and an empty rubbish bin.  This ensures you don't end up with an overflowing sink of dirty dishes and an overflowing rubbish bin at the end of the night. If you are holding a big party or dinner, run the dishwasher on the fast cycle half way through the evening so you don't run out of clean dishes and to make clean-up easier.
