How clean is clean?

[Matt F.]

My first tenants moved out the other day so I went over to the property today to change locks and do a few other things. I was surprised to see how dirty the property was. There was no damage to anything but they had a dog and two cats. lots of hair and pet dander everywhere! Doesn't even look like anyone dusted or whipped things down before leaving they just took their stuff out and left. Just wondering what level of clean you expect when tenants move out. Stuff stuck to the refrig. Burnt on food in the oven.... Cat hair on everything ..I see why ppl don't like renting to ppl with animals. Lesson learned! Toilets were in rough shape. This property was also my first home so there is some personal attachment to it... I obviously left if spotless when we moved out so Iam trying to be impartial. Would I be right to keep some security deposit because nothing was cleaned when they left?
