Deductions from Security Deposit

I have a tenant who moved out and left the place in decent shape.  However, there were some scuffs on the walls, the kitchen counters had some dried food on it and the floors were dirty.  The bathroom required some cleaning as well. In total, I probably spent 2 hours painting, 3 hours cleaning and about $60 on cleaning supplies.  What is reasonable to charge for my time?  Also, am I allowed to deduct the cleaning supplies I bought from the security deposit as well?

As a side note, this is a property located in Southern California.
