‘Pile method’ transforms cluttered rooms in just 10 minutes

Clearing out your room can be a daunting task, particularly if there’s a lot to sort through because it’s been left until the last minute.

However, one cleaning guru has revealed a straightforward trick that could have it done in just 10 minutes. Lifestyle influencer Undine Almani is willing to do whatever it takes to speed up the tasks she dislikes in order to achieve the tidy room she adores.

She opts for “speed cleaning” over deep cleaning, to improve the state of her room without consuming too much time. To accomplish this, she employs the “pile method”.

In her video, which has garnered more than 700 views, she showed her room strewn with clothes, giving it a disorganised appearance. The simplest way to begin, she suggests, is to “make piles”.

Initially, she separates the clothes into what needs laundering and what can be stored away. She also advises creating a pile for each type of item in your wardrobe. For instance, create separate piles for socks, tops, trousers, and so on.

“You’ll feel accomplished immediately”, she said. The second step is to fold up the items. She folds the clothes loosely rather than neatly, dubbing it the “lazy version”. “Done is better than perfect,” she added.

At the end of the clip she makes her bed, and shows how much tidier her room is. She adds that instead of always doing a deep clean, you can just “fake it till you make it” by doing a speed clean.

YouTube users raced to the videos comments section to share their thoughts on the hack. One person said: “Appreciate your realness.”

Meanwhile, another wrote: “I’m definitely going to rewatch this while I declutter the house”. And a third added: “Folding clothes and putting them into piles should be considered an art form”.
