Arm&Hammer Laundry Detergent

My mother uses Tide, but I'll tell you, I much prefer Arm&Hammer products when it comes to doing the laundry. We went grocery shopping and had a disagreement about changing the laundry detergent. He wants to use Tide (which I thinking is over expensive for something that doesn't work that great to begin with) or to use what I am using. I like the scent, the feel of the clothes better and I believe Arm&Hammer cleans just as well. Baking soda, does work wonders in my experience. Oh, have I mentioned, it is much, much cheaper?
