Default White flies and washing up liquid?

The Palmolive brand washing up liquid was effective against the black fly
on the broad beans, one or two are appearing again now though so time for
a respray.

How about white fly? Some of young brassica plants are looking poorly and
investigation shows some of them have white fly underneath the leaves.
Will washing up liquid be effective against them too?

Bit of a fiddly and wet job if you are not careful, but we found that going
up from underneath and pointing up with the hose shifted them :-))
