Cleaning lady asking for extra $$

This is the second turn in a row my cleaning lady has asked for an extra $25. She sends blurry cell phone pictures of the "extra mess" or "oh my god they had a party" and I say "ok" just to avoid confrontation and to keep her happy because I'm 4 hours away and need her. But it's costing me money. If i go to the guets and ask for extra it'll just make them angry and offended. The one time I tried it, and it was for two holes in a comforter, I heard "Maybe you need a new cleaning service" so I bought a new comforter and moved on. 

Does this happen to you? How do you handle it?

Why are you letting the cleaning person cause you unnecessary stress? This shouldn't even be up for debate. Just find a new one. Even if the next one sucks, find a new one.  If that one sucks, find a new one again.  We are not talking about finding a top neurosurgeon. It is a cleaning person and this skill is in abundance. No disrespect to all my cleaning people out there :)
