I leave the house clean, but not so clean that you could eat off of the floors. I am not sure if this house was left filthy or just not clean enough for you. Different people have different ideas of what clean means. I know when we rent in Maine they tell you that if the house is not clean when you leave, you will not be able to rent the following year. However, they do have a cleaning service come in to clean even if the house is left clean.
I didn't expect it to be left so that the floors could be eaten off of.......I would have been happy with "broom clean". There was red wine on the walls and floors....even in the closet and blood on the decorative pillows on the sofa. I'd be happy to eat the cleaning cost if they didn't come back next year.
