with regard to using white spirit/meths and a toothpaste?

whats the technique, is it as simple as scrubbing the aphids off the
leaves with a toothbrush thats been dipped in meths? what about the
fluid that drips onto ground/borders, will it do much damage?

as my plum tree is badly infested and the organic solutions don't
really seem to have done much. i believe the tree is suffering aphid
leave curl and may have for a few years as garden was overgrown mess
when bought last October.

I've been wondering whether a spray could be used instead of the 'toothbrush'
approach ??
