You may need to actually go in and help them organize for the first time...take charge and create labeled boxes, shelves, cabinets, drawers or whatever is needed to get the stuff put away, and then setup a process like mjd's photos
to keep it in order. I find that once you have set destinations for things, it's much easier to keep things cleaned up. It's getting that first organization done that's the hardest.
