I don't post here that often...but I have a 8 and 7 yr old.

If they don't clean it up after they've been told to several times, etc..I take that toy away.

Say it's clean up time...They have X amount of time to clean up. After that given time if it's not done then I get to take those toys away. I put them somewhere they can't get to and they don't get them for a week...

It works well because they don't want their toys taken away.

Same with their rooms. They have an hour on Saturdays' to clean it up. If it's not done when I go and check those toys are mine.
