Not long, maybe a few minutes. But it doesn't matter. Pregancy never, ever happens from contact with sperm in the environment, even if fresh, set, and still alive. (From a simple hygiene standpoint, clean it up, just to be a nice guy. But do not worry about someone conceiving as a result of contact with it.)
