Manu 5.126
यावत्-न-अपैत्य् अमेध्याक्ताद् गन्धो लेपश् च तत्कृतः । तावन् मृद्वारि च-आदेयं सर्वासु द्रव्यशुद्धिषु ॥
yāvat-na-apaity a.medhyāktād gandho lepaś ca tat.kṛtaḥ | tāvan mṛd.vāri ca-ādeyaṃ sarvāsu dravyaśuddhiṣu ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
As long as the (foul) smell does not leave an (object) defiled by impure substances, and the stain caused by them (does not disappear), so long must earth and water be applied in cleansing (inanimate) things. ^__^
