This pretty $25 sponge is designed to clean the most breakable thing in your kitchen
Briefly

Mitts is a specially designed kitchen sponge that resembles Pac-Man and aims to protect fragile stemware. It fits like an oven mitt, featuring a central incision to wrap around glass rims, along with finger slots for better control. Co-founders Daniele Orellana and Lee Kojanis initially created the sponge due to frustrations from frequently breaking delicate glasses while washing. They sought to create a sponge that was both aesthetically pleasing and functional, suitable for washing various kitchen items. Their vision was developed in collaboration with Creative Engineering to create prototypes.
