You have to remeber "clean your room" is a very complex term that many kids never learn. If you make a rubric ( a form of evaluation, see below) it might help with this task that she has no idea how to conquer. Being much more specific might eleviate this problem all together.

laundry 2- picked up and away 1- half done 0- not at all

bed 2- made my way 1- not made right 0- not made

toys 2-in toy box 1- in a neat pile 0- all over

"your catagory" 2- done right 1-half done 0-not done

Then state that if you get all points you get special treat. If (certain range) points you lose some priledges, and below X points you lose a special thing.

Just a suggestion.
