I would consider what I described as effective because I've never lost a plant to SM's that I've treated as described. Leaves no residue. When alcohol and showers worked, I quit seeking further solutions. If I had tried (real) soap (not detergent) first, that might be my go-to if it is as inexpensive as rubbing alcohol. I've spent a total of about $5 battling SM's over the decades I've had potted plants and the only times I've lost is when I did nothing at all.
The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.
