What to do when house is reserved for fewer guest than end up staying overnight

I rent a large house with 4 queen beds plus a couple of fold-down couches. I charge a base price for up to 6 guest to be competitive for smaller groups, then extra for each guest over 6. How do you handle when they book for 6 guest, then it is obvious there have been more than 6 overnight guest for one or more nights? I hate seeming petty, but I keep the place well stocked and the cost of extra supplies used plus extra laundry mount up.

If you have clear evidence that more than the agreed number stayed then within the 48 hour timescale you should have contacted the person who booked and also AirBnB to let them know you intend to make a claim for additional guests and cleaning on the deposit.
