Anhydrous citric acid contains no water molecules in its crystalline structure, making it slightly more concentrated by weight. Regular (monohydrate) citric acid contains one molecule of water per molecule of citric acid.

Store citric acid in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. Exposure to moisture can cause it to clump and lose effectiveness over time.

Yes, citric acid can be used to clean and descale stainless steel. However, always rinse thoroughly with water afterward to prevent any potential etching over prolonged contact.

This is likely due to moisture absorption. Ensure the container is tightly sealed and store in a dry environment. If clumping is severe, you can try gently breaking it up with a spoon, but effectiveness might be slightly reduced.

Ensure the correct concentration of citric acid is being used for the task. For tough descaling, a slightly stronger solution or longer soaking time may be necessary. Always rinse surfaces thoroughly after cleaning.

This could be due to incorrect ratios of citric acid to baking soda, or moisture in the mixture before molding. Ensure a 2:1 ratio of baking soda to citric acid and that all ingredients are completely dry before mixing.
