Dori,
I just use plain water to wash my plants if they get spider mites. If manageable, I put the whole plant in the sink and drench the foliage thoroughly. If weather permits, I take the plant outside and hose off. If all this is impossible, I use a spray bottle to mist/spray the plant well.

I had a terrible time with them in the greenhouse this summer. With diligent daily misting of water I've managed to get rid of them. At least for now :)
