If you're having a party for a large group of people and you rent glassware, dishes and flatware from a rental company, it may seem rude to send them back dirty, but it isn't. The reality is, even if you do a thorough job in washing your rentals, the companies are required to use a commercial-grade dishwasher to fully clean and sanitize them before they go out to another party, so they are prepared to clean them anyway. Also, if you've got a sink full of dishes from a party, use the dishwasher: A loaded automatic dishwasher is much more water- and energy-efficient than washing by hand.
