You must repent from the bad habit. The prayer is valid because, according to some jurists, sprinkling water (nadh) on the garment is sufficient for purifying it from madhi (pre-seminal fluid). However, it is more cautious to wash it to avoid disagreement. There is no harm in using the hand when performing istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself) and its touching impurity while removing it.
