Any clothing or leather that has semen on it must be washed with water, and it will be unclean till evening. Clothing or leather that contacts the semen must be washed — the fabric-washing requirement that accompanies contact with other sources of impurity. The until-evening duration for the washed fabric is the same as for the person who bathed. The brief, self-resolving character of the ordinary discharge impurity is consistent across the person and the fabric: a single washing produces cleanness by evening.
