It has been a month now since I put the Dawn Simple Pleasures bottle on the office kitchen. I arrived easily at a consensus.
November 6th, 2007 update:
The basic rules of entertaining still prevail at the office. Covering the lunch time odors becomes an issue for the well-being of employees and to properly greet visitors.
Men and women like the smell of the new air freshener from the Dawn Simple Pleasures bottle. I tested drive Lemon & Tangerine because it appeared to be a no gender scent. I was right.
The only drawback is the strength of the perfume if you use it in a small closed room. Our office kitchen measures 11 by 13 feet. We have the habit to close the door. So on the morning, due to a reduced air circulation, the perfume is too present in the room for my taste. This happens even after a month of usage. If we leave the door open, the problem vanished.

A mingling ritual at casual parties is certainly doing the dishes.
Cleaning the dishes comes in play before and after a party. So it works best when the host is prepared. I compiled my top three tips to best distribute the work load.
1 | Do not accumulate before the party
Clean all the dishes you used to prepare your meals. I suggest you do the dishes by hand at this stage. The idea is to always start your event with an empty dishwasher and uncluttered counter space.
After the first course, simply put everything in the dishwasher and your counter will stay spotless. If you own an ultra quiet dishwasher, run a washing cycle as soon as the dishwasher reached the 75% full mark. Then you will be ready to start a full cycle with the main course dishes at the end of the event.
2 | Let your friends help you if they offered
If you host a casual event with 8 or more friends, usually 1 or 2 friends will instinctively start to do the dishes while you are cooking and plating the meals. Etiquette wise, it is best to not ask for help unless you are in trouble. If there is no dishwasher, guests should definitely share the cleaning chores.
