How should clothing that has been stained with madhy (prostatic fluid) be cleaned, and is sprinkling with water enough?

In the Shafi'i school, madhy is a moderate impurity (najis mutawassitah), like urine, so stained clothing is cleaned the same way.

Summary
In the Shafi'i school, madhy is a moderate impurity (najis mutawassitah), like urine, so stained clothing is cleaned the same way. The affected area must be washed with pure water until the taste, smell and colour of the impurity are gone. The word nadh in the hadith of Ali is understood to mean washing rather than mere sprinkling, based on another narration that instructs washing the private part. A person who emits madhy is in a state of minor ritual impurity, so he must clean the private part and clothing and perform ablution.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, tatacara pembersihan pakaian yang terkena air mazi adalah sama sahaja seperti membersihkan pakaian yang terkena najis mutawassitah yang lain, iaitu dengan membasuh kawasan yang terkena najis tersebut menggunakan air mutlak sehingga hilang rasa, bau, dan warna najis tersebut.
