Whiteflies on Lime Tree in Pot

Question

I have whiteflies all over my potted lime tree. I want to get rid of them organically, or at least not with chemicals. Can I try Dawn dish detergent or Listerine or what? If I ignore them, will they harm the limes? I have many blossom clusters and some tiny limes.
