I mix it with some bicarbonate (which makes your teeths whiter and brighter) and put it on the toothbrush.

No hitting, no punishment, no money involved. Just make it fun and normal. Me and my son are cleaning the house together, cooking together, buying groceries together etc. He does not have to clean his room, it is not a specific task for him, he just has to help me around with whatever I ask him nicely to do. And house cores are a great family time for us.
But I have to admit that I have involved him since he was very very little, even if in those days letting him help me around the house it only gave me more things to do after him :)
And we are always playing a make-belive game or talking about our day at school/work when we are doing things around the house.
So, the secret I think is doing it together, I am pretty sure that if I send him alone to clean his room he would not do it, but if we are involved together things are going perfect.
Well, he has still few years until becoming a teenager, so when we'll get there we'll see how the situation will change :D

You cannot establish a fixed rule for this, there are too many things that differ from one situation to another, every child is different, with different needs and different background, every family has its specific dynamics. Use your feelings, your intuition and your common sense and put your kids interest first and I am sure you will find your answer :)

Thank you very much for your kind welcome :)
