Semen is pure according to the preponderant opinion, so it is not obligatory to wash clothes from its trace. As for pre-seminal fluid (madhy), it is sufficient to sprinkle water on the clothes, according to some scholars. If you are uncertain whether what came out is semen or pre-seminal fluid, you have the choice to assign it the ruling of whichever you wish. Ritual bathing (ghusl) is not required of you unless you are certain of the emission of semen. It is necessary to beware of whisperings (waswas) and from giving in to them.
