soda crystals gone rock hard

hi i have half a pack of soda crystals which i use to clean my washing machine, i pour them in the drum and do a hot wash.

unfortunately they have gone rock hard, is it ok to dissolve them in hot water and then pour that solution straight into the drum?

many thanks

    As above or wrap said crystals in old cloth and hit with hammer a few time to break them up {also the act of that can relieve pent up frustration with family members ;0) }
  • i thought it would be ok as the crystals would only be dissolving in the machine anyway,

    thanks for the replies
