New tenant is moving in, what can I deduct from the Sec. Deposit?

I am a couple weeks away from placing a new tenant in my first rental property. The tenant that is leaving has kept the place reasonably clean throughout their stay. I'm going to have the carpets cleaned for the new tenant - do landlords normally deduct the cost of cleaning the carpets from the security deposit? (This property is in Nebraska)

Love baking that into my lease that it will be paid for by tenant within 7 days of move out or will be deducted from their damage deposit for leases here forward.
