Professional Cleaning Vs Self Cleaning, How Much Trouble Could I Get Into?

Moving out of rental house (after 12 months), meticulously cleaned it for 4 days (always received full deposit back)
Property management sends email to provide professional cleaning invoices, realize lease has an amendment stating "home should be professionally cleaned prior to lease end"
Cleaning company says they will invoice us for a full move out clean, but will only charge a "routine clean" fee since the property is already so clean.
They come, do the routine clean, invoice me for "move out clean" (with higher price to provide PM - which lists "cash" as payment) and only charged my credit card for the basic clean price.
Cleaning co says if PM has questions, to have them call and they will confirm a "move out cleaning" service.

Thought is, if PM inspects home, determines more cleaning needed, I'll pay more to have it performed.

Concern is: Could this be fraud and turn into a massive legal issue because we saved a few hundred dollars and didn't pay to reclean everything just to say we did. To confirm, paid $700 for house cleaning and carpet shampooing. Just didn't pay full $1,000 for "move out cleaning" which includes things like baseboard wiping because these things were already done by us.

How much potential trouble could I get myself into here?
