Yeah, the cheap standard powder detergent would probably be less expensive. The volume you'd need to make to beat it is huge. Like, maybe five years' worth.

I am also laughing at making washing powder in the oven to save money. The amount you'd spend on electricity would put you in the red, unless you live in a petrostate with free electricity or something.

The amount of free time you'd have to have, as well, to even consider baking the powder for an hour per round to make it usable... After a certain point my time is valuable to me and I'd rather just pay a dollar or two extra to not have to worry about all this mess.

Indeed. Or working for prison slave wages.

Lol yeah I didn't even consider that. At this point it almost feels like some of that has to be trolling. Either that or there is a large detergent hobbyist community out there that I have just not been aware of.
