If you can't open the windows, a thorough cleaning is the best method. When I say thorough, I mean everything: behind, under and around everything. The odor is usually from bacteria and until it's dead or gone, it will smell. Dust is the biggest contributor, it gives all those nasty little particles a place to live and grow, so a thorough dusting will help too.
The vinegar and water trick works, but the smells will come back if the source isn't removed. Just leaving a glass of 50/50 water and vinegar on the counter will freshen the air. Boiling it works faster.
Activated charcoal will absorb odors as well, you can get a 5lb bag at the fish store for about $2. I leave ashtrays around the house with about 1/2 cup in each. My brother and I both smoke, but the charcoal keeps the odor to a minimum. Or so say my none smoker friends, me, I can't smell anything anyway.
