How can I make DIY insect spray for plants coming indoors for winter?

I am bringing in 2 large plants from outside to inside. They have spider webs + other things I imagine. I have in the past used soapy water, but it doesn't quite do the job. I prefer not to have a commercial spray with chemicals. Any suggestions??

Step 1: Fill tub with soapy water – Fill a large tub/bucket with water and add a few squirts of a mild liquid soap (I use mild liquid soap). Step 2: Put plants into the water and soak them – To kill any bugs on houseplants, soak the whole plant, pot and all, in the tub of water for about 15-20 minutes.
Thank you for the idea. However my plants are about 3 1/2 to 4 feet tall and really heavy. My tub is not deep enough to soak the pot and plant.
