OK, officially the mitt scrub is an adapted paint grid used for straining excess paint from paint brushes and rollers. I think one of the best features of the Grit Guard is that it provides a surface to scrub your wash mitt. But I found the operation somewhat impeded by natural physics when trying to scrub the mitt under 3-4 gallons of water. I had this in the back of my mind while I was looking for a roll of painter's tape at my local Ace Hardware.
I bought this one gallon plastic model manufactured by Wooster. It looked a little small at first, but I liked the fact it was manufactured from plastic. Most paint grids are made from metal and have sharp edges that can tear snag, or shred your wash mitt over time.
Initially I thought the one gallon paint grid would be too small in it's new role as a mitt scrub for a 5 gallon rinse bucket. But the one gallon size turned out to be a good fit.
The paint grid/mitt scrub is already designed to fit along the edge of a circular bucket with hooks, so no adaptation was required
An added bonus: the paint grid/mitt scrub has legs along the bottom to kick out the grid from the side of the rinse bucket. IMO, it makes for slightly more comfortable ergonomics
Demonstrated in simulated action. Scrubbing the mitt along a vertical surface just along and slightly above the water line proved to be more effective (for me) than trying to scrub along a horizontal plane at the bottom of the rinse bucket with the weight of several gallons of water slowing my motion and lifting the mitt from the Grit Guard.
