Jojo.. I'd do nothing.. literally.. don't pick up her stuff.. leave it there.. if she wants to be dirty and smelly.. let her.. it won't be long before her friends start passing comments.. girls LOVE to pick on stuff like that. Look after your stuff and let her live in squalor for a bit.. she won't die. And mine throw clean clothes on the floor too.. and i don't pick them up.. ever.. they aren't mine and when clean things are in the wash basket I put them back to go upstairs.. I have enough washing. Mine have a basket in their room for laundry so it isn't like they even have to go anywhere just drop it in as they strip.
