The other half of the stuff podgy on the floor.
I’ve spent countless rainy afternoons only on struggling cleared out wardrobes.

''I’ve spent countless rainy afternoons [only on (?)] struggling to clear out wardrobes.
That's one way of saying it correctly.
Or was he/she saying that, 'I’ve spent countless rainy afternoons only on struggling (to do something with) 'cleared out wardrobes'.
I'm sure you've already found that 'podgy' is, in British English, similar to παχούλης. There is no other meaning I know of. So I guess the idea the author wants to portray is an image of large heaps of clothes resembling somewhat overweight people.
