Human semen is pure according to the most preponderant scholarly opinions. However, it is preferable to wash it off to avoid the difference of opinion of those who deem it impure. It suffices for you to wash your clothes with your hands to remove the impurity with pure water, and a strong presumption is sufficient for its removal.
