Getting children to clean up their rooms can be a monumental task. Cleaning is not fun for anyone but children find it particularly daunting. One great thing parents can do is give their children a system that can work for them to use. There are a number of products that can really help with this.

If your child has a closet to tend with, think about getting a closet organizational system. Put a hanger bar (or a set of hanger bars) just at their level. Rubbermaid configurations 4-to-8-foot deluxe custom closet kit is a great organizer for kid’s rooms, because it is so adjustable. With hanger bars being able to be dropped to your childs level, not only should you have less broken hangers, but you probably won't end up with as many clothes on the ground. Your children can begin to easily put their own clean clothing away with the hanger bar so low.

Smaller bins can help make it less likely that every toy will end up on the floor. You can encorage your children to create their own organizational system here.
