Cleaning person trashing furniture

I have fired 2 cleaning people over the past several months because I find that they have nicked walls and very, very expensive furniture with the vacuum and who knows what else. The latest person was specifically told to be careful with the vacuum and she was even walked through the apt. and shown damage from previous cleaners. Yesterday I found a small tear in a pricey leather chair and a gouge in an equally pricey wooden chair. Now, this cleaning person comes to me from recommendations from the ritziest part of town, in fact, she'd never even been to my side of town before! DH wants to make her pay for the damage, which is really unreparable.

No one does a job as well as I do, but I work 6-7 days per week and don't want to spend any free time cleaning. Does anyone have suggestions or similar dilemnas?
