Question

It really bothers me that the dishes remain dirty all Shabbat and the sink is full of dishes. Is it permissible for me to stack the dishes in the sink and rinse them a bit with water so that the kitchen looks better and the dishes are not too dirty (they will still need regular washing after Shabbat)?

Answer

Hello 
If the appearance bothers you, you are permitted to wash the dishes to the extent necessary for Shabbat itself.
