It certainly should be just fine.  I use Arm and Hammer Laundrey Detergent
on all the pet stuff as well as the family's clothes.  For particularly bad
odor stuff (like when one of the cats gets mad and takes it out on a pile
of clothes), I use up to one small box of baking soda or some Nature's
Miracle - both work great at getting odors out.  I usually add some baking
soda to the load that included ferret stuff too.

Yes.  I have 3 ferrets and now have 3 of the 5-in-1 ferret harnesses.  They
are very nice.  The collar/harness has very easy to open/close fasteners.
The leash easily goes from 4 to 6 feet.  I like them very much.  The only
thing I would be concerned about is if you have a very small female.  My
smallest female is just under 700 grams (a bit less than 1 1/2 pounds) and
it barely fits her.  My female kit will be bigger than the other female and
I expect the 5-in-1 to fit her just fine.  It also fits my male beautifully.
