Maybe give some free advice about: Cleaning?
why don you tell him either you clean your room or no tv and pudding. that will upset him enough to want to clean his room,
or you can warn him like my mum did to me when i was young, she said if you dont clean your room everything in your room would be thrown out, and i didnt believe but she did do it,
so i think black mail is the best solution

Give him ten dollars to clean it, and make him do some completelly boring, long, and useless chore if he doesn't. (Think mowing the lawn with scissors, washing the bathroom with a tooth brush)
The combination of positive and negative reinforcment will solve your problem in a jiffy.

Separate everything into categories. First clothes, then toys, then trash, then books, and so on. Make it fun and fast by challenging him to speed through it. Turn on music and say, "Okay, let's get all your dirty clothes in the hamper and the rest in your dresser/closet" It would probably help if you helped him. It doesn't mean you have to do the entire thing, but most things are funner when you have someone to do them with. If you speed around cleaning things up, he probably will too and the entire thing will be done much faster.

Put music on. It would probably make things a lot more fun.

make it a game put numbers on the the pile of mess and on the other side of the number paper put down a number of points he will get for putting it away and do that for everything and then once he gets everything done give him a reward that way each time he will be happy to clean his room then if he still doesnt want to make it more creative.
