As an ADHD person who struggles to keep areas clean, here are the rules I would require:
* Dirty laundry should go in the hamper. (This makes it possible to wash the dirty laundry, which she should also get a role in if she doesn't already.) When it comes off, either it goes in a specific staging area (if it's not too dirty to wear) or it goes in the hamper. * There should be a place for clean laundry; if that place is a heap in a hamper, make sure there are enough hampers to go around. * Food that is not actively in the process of being eaten, or securely contained in whatever your area needs in order that it won't become a pest magnet, must not be in the room. (This is for sanitary reasons.) * Dishes must be bussed promptly, and that's her responsibility. No dirty plates or half-consumed drinks. (Also for sanitary reasons.) * Piles on the floor cannot stay there indefinitely; they must be picked up and put somewhere periodically in order to vacuum. If this means putting half the room at a time on her bed and vacuuming under where it was before putting it back down, then that's what it means. * There should be a regular schedule for her to clean her room, whether it needs cleaning or not. Weekly is a good idea here, since it's a complete tip after a week. If doing it all at once is A Lot for her, talk about what incremental cleaning would look like. (Schedule Cleaning O'Clock for a time when something fun is NOT usually happening, and if there happens to be something fun in any particular week, have some times where the process could get moved earlier.)
