Even the best rice can benefit from being washed. To obtain a finished rice that doesn't clump, try soaking the rice in water to remove its excess starch, before cooking it. It's this starch that makes the cooked rice clump. Place rice in a large measuring cup to soak with enough water to cover. Allow the rice to soak until your pot of water has come to a boil: stir frequently.
