I usually clean them the next day, but when I get busy I've left them for weeks haha it happens, and I don't get many guests. I always clean for guests.

I don't know if I have ever found my upper limit. Depends on how busy I am, I guess. I don't keep close track of it, but I try to keep the health department out of the picture.
It really isn't that bad

Lol. Overnight. I will leave the really crusted up supper dishes (pans) to soak. But the next morning, I make my coffee, sit on the porch & drink it, then go straight in and wash them. Can't stand dishes sitting.

Lol I can’t, either. I actually got annoyed by people who have dishes sitting for days at a time.
Until I get back from my appointment elsewhere

I do them after eating. Usually the pot/pan before while it's hot.

I can't stand to have even one dirty dish in the sink.
I wash them in the morning after breakfast. Dry them and put them away.
If any get dirtied during the day when I see them they get washed.
After dinner, I wash them again.
I know this is more than a little obsessive, but it could be something far worse. lol

Mostly I want to wash immediately, so I try not to use many.

I will not leave them in the sink, If I don't get to them right away, my roommate will.

what year is this?...after a while, it isn't 'dirt' but that individual who lives in your sink...best to toss it a cookie every once in a while...no longer is there an unclean knife in the sink, but an armed life form...treat accordingly.

I was going to ask what month, I think you beat me both ways. I have this vague hope that one day it will be full of nice fresh mushrooms.
When it tries to eat you, it's time to do something....
@Holysocks MORE COOKIES!

Mmm....Typewriter! Nomnomnom...
...only minutes, if possible, in culinary school, chefs are drilled to "clean as you go" -- start clean, end clean. But, the general rule is ...never go to bed with anything in the kitchen needing cleaned. EVER.

I mostly clean up as I cook, but the after dinner dishes wait until the next morning. I put the coffee on and do the dishes......
