Is it actually whitefly? Often, green or black aphids shed their skins and you get hundreds of small white specks on plants. If you tap the plant and clouds of actual whitefly fly off then you've got it. This is irrelevant anyway. I blast aphids off with jets of water, or occasionally use a soft soap sray (Savona).
