Looking for some advice on how to best clean the tools after DIY
I have Casco Husfix Rapid, a mixer, and putty knives. Take a bucket of water and clean them? What to do with the water bucket afterward? Doesn't feel quite right to rinse it down the drain
Thank you so much!

Not at all good to empty on the compost!
For all chemicals, there is a safety data sheet that you should receive when you purchase the product, but it is also available online. It says about Casco husfix:
"Waste management
Avoid the spread of spilled material, runoff, contact with soil, (my emphasis) water bodies, drainage, and sewers
Residues and uncured product are hazardous waste and should be taken to a recycling center or equivalent for disposal according to local regulations. Cured product is not hazardous waste and can be managed as other waste."
So wash – save the wash water and handle it in the best possible way!
