Small electrical fire; any ideas on getting rid of the smell?

So we had a small electrical fire in our apartment today, no one hurt and no damage done. But our apartment was filled with smoke when it happened (this morning), and it still reeks of burnt plastic. We aired it out all day, but I'm not sure what else we can do. Any suggestions?

Clean the wallsceilings with whatever cleaner you feel comfortable with.  We had a bad fire several years ago and the smoke fumes get on the walls/hard surfaces.  Wash everything (soft goods) you can.

Thanks, I'm going to try to scrub down the whole house tomorrow. I have a HEPA air purifier running now, but I doubt that will help much. It still smells so bad in here.
