Tests have shown homemade mixes to set plants' growth and production back more than commercial insecticidal soaps, so personally I stick with teh commercial ones e.g. Safer's.
If you really want to go homemade, you can google homemade insecticidal soap recipe and find a bunch of info.
There are some plants for which soap sprays are too harsh -- ferns come to mind, but there are various others. Unless you are certain, it is wise to test your spray on a few leaves and wait a couple days to see what happens.
Good luck, have fun,
