Non refundable carpet cleaning fees

[Joe Edwards-Hoff]

Curious, I just got my first house and I was looking back on the current lease I was in. One the lease I signed there is a $150 portion of my $300 security deposit that was deemed a non refundable carpet cleaning fee. Now, I signed this, and will msot likely end up paying it, but I am curious as to the "legitness" of the fee. Carpet cleaning for my place(which I don't think was done before I moved in) shouldn't be more than $75.

Any thoughts? In Kittitas County Washington.
