Help!! Indoor Potted Arbequina Olive w/ Scale and Spider Mites

I am looking for effective treatment advice for an Arbequina that I have moved from outdoors to permanently indoors. I noticed that it has spider mites and scale. I have read that it is best to toss the plant but it is separated from my others, and despite its affliction, is healthy looking, vigorous, beautiful, and I love it. When I received via mail order it was a mere twig (whole other learning experience). I am trying a weekly misting with Dr. Bronner's Mint soap and water and am considering wiping each scale with an alcohol soaked Q-tip. I just don't want to go overboard with all of this at once, (it was also recently transplanted) and was looking for someone who might have advice.
