If I find something that works I promise to let you know. Next I have to tackle my daughters room. That will probably take days. Ugh.
Buffieann, don't do the cleaning yourself. Make him do it. Hand him a stack of trash bags and have him empty his room. Leave him one change of clothes, a pillow and sheet for the bed and that's it! He has to earn all of his other stuff back day by day keeping his room clean. If you clean up for him, there's no reason for him to clean.
Thanks for this!
