That stuff washes away debris indoor pollutants along with anything else that is on the leaf. That Stuff plant wash is recognized for its ability to be unkind to spider mites.

relatively safe additive….
it’s said here to be useful,
of course, the act of spraying a plant with water does irritate the mites, as they prefer dry surroundings…. a good blast from the hose does as much as ‘that stuff’…. for really infestations a ‘miticide’ is your best bet….
To be honest i have never heard of this product befor. What we have always used and have found worked is to put a bit of dish soap into a sprayer bottle and fill with water. Shake it up good and spray it onto the plants. It won’t hurt anything and works to kill off the bugs. I would not suggest drinking this mixture as i doin’t think it would be very yummy. Good luck.
the surfactant you use can be disruptive to the spidermites on its own.
so maybe with the citric acid ?
i wonder what p.h. you end up spraying. (surfactant + citric acid)
have you already tried more natural sprays like soap or garlic ?
i’m sure a lot sites about the plants you might grow will recommend many different safe recipes for pesticides .
