noun

"Washing-up" typically refers to the act of cleaning and washing dishes, utensils, and other cooking or eating-related items after a meal.

Example

1. After we finished our meal, my friend and I took turns doing the washing-up so that neither of us would have to do all of it alone.
2. I hate leaving the washing-up until the next morning - the dirty dishes pile up and it's such a pain to clean them all at once.
3. Can you please help with the washing-up? We have a lot of dishes to clean and it will go much faster if we work together.
