    Basically I suppose - are these reasonable charges and is there anyway of getting out of some/all of them? What approach would we be best taking? Maybe this is daft, but I feel like we're being punished for "doing the right thing" and getting the carpets cleaned as per the contract ... even though we suspected they weren't actually cleaned at the beginning and didn't really need it, but wanted to avoid just this - the hassle and cost of deposit charges/disputes.

    The carpet cleaner has said that the machine used is a recycler, and a such he only used 1/4 of its tank plus 1 1/2 litres of pre-spray.

    The LA have suggested this might be covered by our contents insurance (seems unlikely)... although they don't seem to have considered the (possibly more likely) case that it would be covered by the LL's buildings insurance.
