I'm coming at this from my own neurodivergence, but have you had your kid evaluated for ADHD? I was literally incapable of keeping my room clean as a kid because of my ADHD. Between things becoming part of the background noise and being unable to find a place to start cleaning and being overwhelmed by the act of cleaning...
My parents had a rule by the time I hit middle school that I had to have a path between the bed and the door and if I wanted Dad to empty the wastebasket when he was doing the weekly trash emptying rounds then the can had to be somewhere along that path. As an adult I really struggle with keeping surfaces clean. (Floors have to be clear because I'm a fall risk.)
LW, sit down with your kid and talk about how you'd like her room to be cleaned and why. Do a room makeover so there's a hamper kid likes and there's enough space for all the skincare to live. Maybe there are clothes everywhere because there isn't enough storage for them. Or maybe it's time to go through clothes and get rid of the ones kid doesn't want anymore. Get some hooks for the wall to hang worn but not dirty enough for laundering clothes.
