Am I allowed to rinse off dirty dishes and cutlery on Shabbos so it will be easier to clean Motzei Shabbos?

 

If the dirt, etc. hasn’t dried yet, you may leave them to soak in water.

You may rinse them, if you are afraid of attracting insects, or of the dishes getting ruined.

 

See here as well:

Is one allowed to wash the dishes Friday night after the Shabbos meal and put them in the dishwasher?
