Sorry to hear that.  I'm glad it wasn't worse.

When we had a dust collector fire in my school shop a few years ago, we 
filled the building with quite a bit of smoke.  The insurance company 
hired a crew to come in (from out of state) to wipe everything down from 
the ceiling to the floor and I think one of the things they used was a 
purple type alkaline cleaner.
