Guest smoked inside and also ruined soft furnishings - can I charge her?

Hi,

 

I have a guest who stayed at my house and smoked indoors, I've been working to get the smell out for days! The other thing is she stained a bunch of sheets and towels, and my couch! It seems maybe she did some hair treatment and the grease and color stained a bunch of things. She had the audacity to review my place as stained and smelly!! Can I charge extra for this? How much extra would you charge?

If you have receipts from a cleaning company for smoke damage, you can put in a claim for the cost and also the costs of replacement of sheets and towels if you have the receipts. @Laila154 

 

Also provide photos of the damaged items.

Hi @Laila154 

 

I'm so sorry to hear about this.

 

I just wanted to let you know that I've updated your post title a little, and moved it to another part of the Community Center, to get some more visibility.

 

Hopefully one of our lovely members will be along soon with some advice!
