This document provides tips on using behavioral contingencies to train a boyfriend to clean. It discusses using reinforcement like access to the fridge for picking up clothes. It also discusses punishment like making him rewash clothes if they are put in the wrong pile. For taking out the trash, praise is given when the boyfriend does it while home but not when away. Total task presentation breaks cleaning tasks into small, praised steps like picking up, tying, and taking out the trash bag. Vacuuming removes stinky carpet smells.
