A member asked:
Does sperm die when being washed in the machine in cold water but without detergent? and are sperm dead even if there is a stain left over?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dry stain=dead sperm: If the stain is dry, the sperm are dead. Sperm can survive for a few hours in water but cold water makes them very sluggish. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
