I carry an old, ever shorter, worn out strip for just that. 
Sometimes, the mute(s) is (are) still there next tuning. Other 
times, I get to hear the complaints of how AWFUL that string 
sounded when, sometime shortly after I left (before which I 
had showed them the mutes, explained what they were for, and 
suggested they leave them alone), they *noticed* the strange 
red felt things and pulled them out. The grommets might prove 
to be less "sparkly", and more apt to go "unnoticed" later.

They might also be useful in front duplexes too.
