"You instantaneously clean or soil an object no larger than 1 cubic foot."
If you interpreted an enemy's femur as an object and the flesh as the thing dirtying that femur, then you could instantly remove all of the flesh that is attached to the bone.
I believe this would work because:
1. The spell doesn't specify against the object being worn or non-living
2. The spell doesn't say you have to see the object
3. The spell doesn't specify what makes an object dirty, which means that it is up to the caster's interpretation
I came up with this when trying to figure out how to clean the flesh off of my enemies bones as a necromancer, because zombies are gross.
Short, clear answers DMs will use to prevent this. But also, yeah, that is actually against the rules. A corpse is an object a creature is not. Still works for your necromancer's purposes though.

Creatures are not objects under the rules so that wouldn’t work.

If a spell is able to do damage or harm directly, it would say so in the text.

Cleaning bones - tiny bit graphic but nature is cool.
