Agreed.
When my boys were growing up, I did most of the cleaning of their rooms until they reached about 12. Even then, I was not terribly strict about their rooms, but I had a rule about their leaving their stuff in the common areas of the house. Any clothing or sports equipment that I found in the living room got thrown out onto the front lawn. It did not take long for them to learn not to leave their stuff by the front door.
