Additional info, added Tuesday February 22 2005, 3:35 pm: Oh and i have a really small room and i am 14 m. if that counts for anything. Want to answer more questions in the Domesticity category? Maybe give some free advice about: Cleaning? XxAxFxIxX answered Wednesday March 23 2005, 1:20 pm: Well, I have a dinky room, there literally is no more room for stuff to go into it. However,I am a female..and I guess being clean is just a small trait of mine.
Get a laundry basket...It'll be like basketball every mornign! Heh...ohkay on with the answer.
I made it so I always put my school stuff on my bed, so I would see it and put it away because I wanted to sit on my bed..Uhm...
TheTeenGirl answered Monday March 14 2005, 6:11 pm: I use to have this problem, but it was solved because eventually I got really frustrated with the mess I was living in, I didn't want to clean my room, but I got myself up and started to think about how messy I hated it, and just kept cleaning, I didn't stop for a break, I just kept a big cold drink in my room, and had the TV on, and every once in a while I'd watch it, while picking trash up, but you need to ask your mom to buy you a trash can, not one of those little bucket sized ones, I mean the ones in classrooms, because the little ones fill up too easy, and I always eat snacks in my room, so its important that I have that trashcan. Really good tips would be:
*When you're in your room, and laying down, and you are reading books, don't allow yourself to just lay the books on the floor, put it where it belongs.
*This applies for trash too, if you throw trash and it misses the trash can, go put it in the trash, don't let it stay on the floor, especially if its food, it will attract nats.
*For dishes too, if you are laying in bed and having a drink, make sure you take it to the kitchen before going to sleep, and get a glass of water wih ice in it, so that if you wake up in the middle of the night, you'll have water instead of old soda.
*Dishes with food too, if you have a bowl of salsa for chips and dip, make sure you get rid of it as soon as you are done, salsa attracts MILLIONS of nats. I had salsa in my room, it was not pretty after leaving it in my room overnight, so what I did was put it in a glass cup and put a lid over it when I wasn't dipping at the time, because it attracts fast, and when I didn't feel like taking it down, I put the lid over it for overnight, (it was a fit lid, it came with the glass, so don't try over sized lids, or get really good wrapping foil for it.
Small rooms can be hard to deal with, but it won't be as much as a hassle to clean a small room up, good luck.

If this does not work you should find a day were u have nothing to do, have a friend over have him/her clean out all the junk with you and maybe a garage sale if possible to earn some $money$:> [ Mrjackinthebox's advice column | Ask Mrjackinthebox A Question ]

bUtTeRfLiEs answered Tuesday February 22 2005, 4:40 pm: Just organize everything. When you use something or get your clothes back from being washed, immediately put things where they belong. That way, you won't have to worry about cleaning up later and your room will stay clean.
-Hope I helped!-

XxRockon answered Tuesday February 22 2005, 3:35 pm: hmm..i have soime tips for cleaning it..When you clean blast your radio and just work on getting it all done maybe like have a goal to focus on and a reason for wanting to get it done like say if you keep it clean for a week you can treat yourself to a new shirt or something like that, just break your room into sections and work on cleaning each section so then the job doesn't seem to overwhelming [ XxRockon's advice column | Ask XxRockon A Question ]
