If you want to avoid chemicals that is pretty much your only option. You could get some ladybugs, but I imagine you don't want any more insects indoors. The soap should suffocate the aphids. As a side note, aphids are viviparous and parthenogenetic. Do your Aphids have wings?

Sound reasonable? Any other suggestions?
