I bought a couple of bags of soda crystals as I want to use them in my washing machine. Took make life easier, I poured the contents of both bags into a large storage container.
Problem is a few days on is that the crystals are near solidified. They are as hard as a rock.
Does anyone know what's happened?

They've absorbed some moisture is all. Always happening to me too, although I'm sure my container is well sealed. Just bash it around and get a lump the volume you want to use. It'll dissolve fine in the machine;)You never get a second chance to make a first impression.0

Thanks for that.
Much appreciated.0 -
Next time you put them into a container, try and find one of those silica sachets that comes with new shoes/bags and pop it in the container, that should stop it. The poncey term is hygroscopic
