Try spinosad. It wipes out thrips which are not very different.

What could I do like at home, like could I use soapy water to kill them or like less watering , I'll have to look into that stuff for sure

Do look up spinosad. Monterey is a good brand on the US and on Amazon

Probably wouldn't worry too much to be honest. Wouldn't exactly call them a pest. Maybe an indication the soil is staying damp. But otherwise in small numbers, they're probably more beneficial than not.
Probably won't hurt to get rid of them. Probably won't hurt to leave them there either.
Just my 2 cents.

Unless you're growing in coco coir, never let that shit dry out.
I've never been able to get rid of springtails, people claim they're not a pest, but they definitely are if you let them keep multiplying.

3%h2o2 undiluted 3hr soak will not kill them mighty wash flush won’t kill them their tuff little bastards....iv had them every single grow from start to finish by the time I flip theirs honest to god 10s of thousands in each pot never had an issue they only eat fungus and dead roots win win... then they shit out food for your plant and help airate the coco... they are nothing but beneficial I’ll also say this iv had a horibal fungus gnat infestation and it went away when springtails showed up never seen another fungus gnat since then
