there are several ways to prevent fine scratches from washing, but it more so has to do with technique then with the mitt. A good quality mitt will feel soft when wet, maybe go with a chenille or microfiber mitt (lambs wool works well too.) You can use a sea sponge, but they can scratch because they sometimes dont let loose all the sand from the sea.
But technique has alot to do with it too. You can use a two bucket wash method, which uses one bucket to rinse the mitt while the other is clean wash water and soap. Or you can still use a single bucket method while using something called a grit guard. Home Page - Grit Guard : Home of the Grit Guard Insert - Grit Guard : For Scratch-Free Cleaning You can also use this in your 2 bucket method too, and it will help with rebel dirt particles.
