Def. the one not cooking....although the cook can help a little... its a compromise!

My first reaction was to say the one who didn't cook, but then I thought about it, and I realized that if they alternate cooking, they are basically sharing the responsibility. Why would it be so hard for them to both clean up? Then it gets done faster, they can spend that little bit of time together and move on to something else. It also helps that the one who cooked isn't sitting idly by watching the other one clean. You could run into all sorts of arguments with that, especially if one cook is messier than the other. I say share the responsibility, look at it as quality time together and argue about more important things in life.

The one who cooks does not clean up the mess. The one who cleans up the mess does not cook. Sound like a fair division of labor this way.

If its a big mess you both clean up. But another way to do it is while one cooks the other should clean up used dishes and other utensils, so the meal can be done and the cleaning is done at the same time. Just switch off like that.

Surely you have bigger things to worry about. All you do to solve this problem is negotiate it...either the one that cooks also cleans thereby giving the other one a complete day off of kitchen duty or the one that doesn't cook does clean. Just make a decision, nothing like making a mountain out of a mole hill.

My wife and I cook 50% of the time each. After preparing the food, we both clean the mess up. Only fair, and sometimes we get our twin sons to help. Gets everything cleaned up faster without bickering, getting accused of being lazy and arguing about who's turn it is to clean.

It really should be the person who's not cooking. However, you both should agree to it, otherwise, it would become a problem. Either get it in writing or agree that if the other person who's supposed to clean doesn't clean up should pay some kinda of incentive.

If one cooks then the other cleans up the mess. And Vise versa

they should decide together whether they prefer the idea of one night off, one night responsible for both cooking and cleanup, or if they prefer the one cooks/one cleans arrangement.
If they can't decide on one of the above plans, then they should alternate between the two. 1st week is all or nothing week, next week is one cooks/one cleans.

I think that the person who cooked should clean because it was their mess to begin with.
