    Read somewhere that someone went to home depot and got a grated flourescent light cover and cut out a circle small enough to go inside a 5 gallon bucket but large enough that it would wedge inside the bucket about 3 inches from bottom.

    Have you considered velcro. or maybe some lead weight from the fishing tackle isle. Tie them on with some fishing line and drop it into the bucket. The lead wont rust like other metals. Interesting concept with the gravel gaurd. I haven`t seen this one yet.
    The bitterness of poor quality lingers long after the sweetness of low price.

    Question

    Is the grit guard necessary?
    My wash mitt is probably at least 6" away from the bottom of my wash bucket when I reach in up to my wrist. I can`t imagine a time when my wash mitt would be close to touching the bottom of the bucket.
    The buckets I use are 5 gallon. The type that many construction products come in.

    I thought about that too Charles; the mitt typically floats. Here is how I used it yesterday: I used The Details/Poorboy`s bucket for suds, and another of just water. After washing a panel, I shook vigorously in the water bucket, and then rubbed the mitt on either side of the grit guard.
