How do you decide how much of your tenant's deposit to return?

They took pretty good care of the house. Appeared to have the carpets cleaned and the home cleaned. Deposit was 1 months rent. 

Thoughts?  How do you determine how much to return?  Do you use it for finding things like changing the locks?

Don't be petty. If they left it right, give it all back. If you don't, be prepared to defend any amount with an actual cost to fix.
