There’s one less reason for Mexicans living in the U.S. to cross the border gracias a laundry detergent maker.

Mexicans used to using the powdered laundry detergent brand Ariel can now find it here in the U.S. and it’s even in their preferred bagged version as opposed to the popular cardboard box preferred by most U.S. consumers, according to an FT.com article.

If you’re not into Ariel there is also a new bagged version of Gain detergent.

“You’ve got people going across the border and they need to understand that the brand that they know and love is available on both sides.” Said Bob McDonald, P&G’s  (company who makes the laundry detergents) new chief executive .

Do you  have a preference between liquid and powder and if you’re into powder do you like it bagged or boxed?
