Just for fun, I decided to grate some regular bar soap (Ivory) and see how well it cleans in my Neptune 7500 front loader. I planned on using the food slicer attachment for the KA Epicurean mixer.
But then, I thought, if I'm going to all this trouble, why not grate some other laundry soap bars I have around the home?
So in addition to an entire Ivory soap bath bar, I also ground about 1/2 of a pink Zote laundry bar, as well as about the same amount of a blue Island brand laundry soap bar (from Fiji).
The Ivory soap grated to a very granular, dusty powder. The Zote was the easiest to grate, producing nice fluffy ribbons of soap. The Island was in between the Ivory and the Zote in terms of grating. It produced ribbons as well as some powder and then some hard "blueberries" that were quite resistant to grating.
The bell shaped object in the background is the grater attachment for the KA mixer food slicer.
