Arm & Hammer vs Tide: Subtle scent and better value vs bold floral and higher cost

Arm & Hammer and Tide clean equally well, but the real difference is scent: Arm & Hammer’s subtle baking soda fades away, while Tide’s bold floral announces itself from across the room. Arm & Hammer costs less per load, so choose based on whether you want your clothes to blend in or show off.
