Baking soda that is stored in an inappropriate area can clump. Signs that baking soda is clumping can usually be seen from the difficulty of removing this material from the bottle. However, from now on there is no need to make mistakes when storing baking soda because you can follow the method below.

1. Store in an airtight container.

Use an airtight container, such as a glass jar or tight-fitting plastic container, to avoid exposure to humidity in the air which can cause the baking soda to clump.

2. Add moisture absorbing items.

Place a moisture-absorbing object, such as a silica gel sachet, in the container along with the baking soda. These moisture-absorbing items will help keep the humidity in the container low.

3. Maintain storage temperature.

Make sure the baking soda storage area is at a dry and stable temperature. Avoid storing it in a damp place or exposed to direct heat.

4. Use a dry spoon.

When taking baking soda from a container, make sure the spoon or measuring tool used is dry. The water content in baking soda can speed up the formation of lumps.
