I believe it is only 12-24 hours. It definately is not as long as non-washed sperm which could live upto 3-5 days.

It does not live as long as an unwashed sample. I think this is one of the reasons why IUIs are done back to back. However, remember that they have less distance to travel because they are inserted directly into the uterus.
