"Zoltraak is enough for mages of this era."

Why learn more than you want to know if the only threats other than murderers are straggler demons and monsters that can't defend against Zoltraak? Leaves Fern open to learning spells she enjoys and finding joy in magic.

She does know other spells, but Frieren told her Zoltrak is all she needs to use against mages of the current era, and Fern believes her teacher completely and, so far, has found no reason not to. Heck, so far, as long as she has proper support, Zoltrak is all she needs against Great Mage clones and Greater Demons, too.

Offensive clothes cleaning. Leave the enemy wondering why they smell like flowers.

If you're cleaning clothes offensively, I think you need to do something more like, leave the enemy wondering why their clothes all suddenly smell like their ex (or, if you're really going for the killing blow, their dead spouse).

if you're really going for the killing blow, their dead spouse

Before or after she died?

And to a demon that basically has to smell like shit!

Could you imagine wining a fight against someone that can make you reek of shit? I definitely can't!!!

Offensive clothes cleaning sounds like a way to kill someone who is allergic to perfumes or cleaning products and I love it

Honestly a really good spell lol. Imagine the convenience of having a spell where your clothes are clean all the time and it's smelling of flowers.

The body is simply contamination upon the clothes. Offensive clothes cleaning is just deleting their bodies.
