Do dawn dunks. Put plastic wrap over your soil to keep it in the pot, fill your sink with room temp water mixed with blue dawn(look up the ratio online) and dunk your plants. If I remember correctly, you do this daily until they are gone. For short term use, dawn isn’t harmful and does a great job with pests. I’d also look into some dead bug brew or dust or other prevention methods to keep them gone once you’ve got them under control

I just got rid of a spider mite infestation, the best way that I’ve found to get rid of them on the leaves is physical removal. I spray them with a 70% isopropyl alcohol/water mix and give each leaf a good wipe down on both sides, it may sound time consuming but it’s very effective. Make sure you wipe your leaves for at least 2-3 days depending on how bad the mites are, and continue to spray with the alcohol/water mix for 3-4 days after that. Continue to inspect the leaves and eventually they will be gone. So far this method hasn’t harmed any of my plants!
