The question

Were the places I walked on defiled after I put glass cleaner on a semen stain? And was the entire house and my family defiled after walking on the spot wet with water and cleaner? And did the cleaner and water purify the place that was originally defiled?

The answer

Semen is pure, according to the preponderant opinion among scholars. The default state of things is purity, so unless one is certain that impurity has transferred, this default state remains in effect. Accordingly, the foot does not become impure merely by walking on a carpet, unless you are certain that it has stepped on a specific impurity. As long as there is doubt about the location of the impurity, or about stepping on its location, its transfer is not ruled. It is advisable to turn away from thinking about such matters to avoid obsessive whispers (waswas).
