Washed up sperm from ab in a shower without soap. If in the process drops of semen/sperm/water splashed on an object/sponge and it was used to wash vagina 1-2 hours later, would sperm be viable enough to lead to pregnancy? Assume no soap was used?

Could someone get pregnant while taking a shower from sperm that had been left on a bar of soap from about 10 hours prior? The soap was still wet/moist and so the sperm could not have dried out yet. The soap was used to wash the genital area as well?
