I sprayed water and anti-bacterial soap mix on my plants for spider mites. If I let this sit will it effect my plants at all, or do I have to spray them with water after?

Spray with water after, definitely. I believe the reason to do this is that the stomata can take in the soap or something and possibly hard them?

Really? I've never heard this. Always thought it was harmful.

fine but you want to use biodegradable soap like Palmolive or ivory

I would rinse after a few days or after the mites are gone

Safers insectacidal soap is more effective. You'll taste it in your buds BTW.
