Be sure the kid knows what he parent’s standards are for a satisfactorily clean bedroom (for all members of the house) and what, if any, exceptions apply. The penalties for not adhering to those standards (parent picks up stuff once/twice, documents doing so for those items; 3rd time an item requires pickup it goes to goodwill.) Then adhere to those rules. Not sure what age these rules should take effect, but surely before the teen years.
