None. I believe it’s not recommended. Why not try and get some plasticiser?
See alot of builders using this method ?

Brickies who I work with use plasticiser.
For non structural work, a quick squirt in the water bucket, but for the price you may as well buy the proper stuff
This being - presumably - a family-oriented forum, modesty prevents one from saying what additives some builders have been known to put in the cement mixer.
Problem is - buy a 2-litre can of plasticiser for a small job, and you can't use what's left for washing up.
Original, lemon or peach?

Of course there is, price, every little helps
Have you tried? They work on pretty similar principles so a plasticiser should be able to clean dishes....Problem is - buy a 2-litre can of plasticiser for a small job, and you can't use what's left for washing up.
It does not clean the mixer though. Odd.
