I'm telling you the screen protector will never be the same. Unless you like dirt dust and bubbles. Belive me, I tried, it looks like sh*t.
Live with your screen protector until the aftermarket ones are available specifically made for the TP.

I've been washing screen protectors for years. Including the one that came with my TP. Never experienced the problem you describe. I mean, I've had dirt, dust, and bubbles, but not because of washing it. I have NEVER gotten a screen protector applied to my liking on the first try. In fact, I don't even bother trying to install a new protector straight off the backing anymore, because I can never get a dry protector right on the first try. I need it wet so I can slide it around. Washing as many times as necessary to get the perfect installation is what has allowed me to get... well... the perfect installation. I don't like seeing even a single piece of lint or dust under my protector. If it doesn't come out right, I wash and try again.
Steam up your bathroom. Clean your device screen with a microfiber cloth and glasses cleaner. Wash your hands with soap and water. Wash protector with soap and water. DO NOT DRY IT WITH ANYTHING. Shake it a few times and put it on wet. Push out the bubbles you can. It WILL look like crap, like an oily sheen and bubbles all over, but only until the water evaporates. Took 2 days on my TP to completely dry. I've got one piece of lint though, so I need to do it again. But one corner won't seem to lay down right, so I'm just living with it until the 3rd party protectors are available. Other than the problem with my corner, the stock protector is nice. It fits so perfect that if you don't put it on wet, I don't see how you could ever get it lined up. You would have to be a robot.
