Steam Cleaning Very Old Stone Statues

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Sorry for the super long intro I just thought it was necessary to document how much of a battle this video was to make :D Thank you all for 100,000 views on the previous video, absolutely awesome! Stay tuned for some cool stuff coming up ASAP!

Loving the stone ball, it looks great!

not sure what your wife is going to say about what you've done to the lawn!

[@kellyc.alexander2328]

Hello Sid from across the pond. Why don't you ask the statue dealers if you can clean the statues for and let you film it for us. And the statue you thought was a dragon is a squirrel 🐿️🐿️. May God continue to bless you and your family double portions of His Hope, Faith, and Love!! Much love from The Alexander's ❤️

Sid as a classic car owner, you could make a fortune on steam cleaning engines and the underside of cars , especially classic cars , definitely worth thinking about

[@cdd4248]

Great Idea!

I’ve never seen anything so cool as that reclamation place and all the statues in the snow. Enjoyed the cleaning of the pieces you got, good choices !! This was fun !

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Thank you very much!

Oh I adore that cat! Such a great job as always mate, I needed that after a long day of uni work

This was very fun! Thanks Sid. I liked seeing the steam cleaner in action. I know it's something you've wanted for awhile. Glad you got a replacement for the first one.

Yeah worth the wait for sure!

[@stephenmiller7635]

They came up great, would be good to speak to the local churches and see about steam cleaning some of the old gravestones and monuments in the church yard as one of your freebies for charity.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Yeah i've been trying for a while but they never seem to respond!

[@turtlesoul]

@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning Try your Returned services places? They might know of some veterans' graves etc that might do well with a clean...

[@katzsparkly8324]

There are some KZbin channels about cleaning graves. It’s fascinating.

[@sidereus7]

Gravestones have to be cleaned very carefully using appropriate cleaners. It's very easy to damage them and speed up their aging process by using pressure washers or inappropriate cleaning methods. Please be careful doing this, especially if you do not have the family's permission.

[@lizstokes9091]

Maybe you can find an affordable solar light to go on the post of the tall statue. Or a gazing globe would also look cool on it. Have a great week!

[@Rose-bb4ze]

when i was a kid i've always been curious as to how statues are deep cleaned so this video was very cool :>

Hey I'd like a uhh, burger, and a large fry, and.. uhhhh.... burger.

[@monsieururbanity5892]

I think the sphere will come up amazingly, it’s certainly my favourite! Now let’s watch and find out 👍

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Loved it, need to buy a giant one :D

[@joycewilliams967]

What a fun video Sid! I think it was a brilliant way to test your new steam cleaner while making a unique, entertaining video! Really enjoyed it! Would love to see a gargoyle or two !

[@thekingtroll2]

They make a cleaner specifically for concrete... specialty items. I've watched video's of where people go in and clean tomb stones. You can't power wash them or you might lose some of the etchings or names and dates. People go in and spray that stuff on and give it a light scrub with a brush and then rinse. Sometimes two applications are needed and the stone comes out like new. Usually a person has the cleaner in a spray bottle, a scrub brush and two, 1gallon bottles of water to get one done and restore it. Nice video to see how much that washer can get off concrete.

[@josephcote6120]

That squirrel was a tough nut to crack. Still a great video, and a good project to learn a bit about your new machine.

[@neverbored]

What a cool idea for a video! Would love to see more of this :)

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

More to come!

[@suzettefree129]

My guess is squirrel. Loving this cleanu!!😊

[@kaseym4033]

5:49 into the video and my guess is the dragon/squirrel lol. Very excited to see the results! The squirrel came out pretty nicely and I loved seeing the steamer in action. Wonderful video!

[@fannycraddock99]

Gosh Sid, what can I say other than that was different! I love the puss cat and the statue should have a bird bath/table or sundial attached.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

good idea! probably was a bird bath at one point in time!

[@Kimichitsuzuku]

@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning I would guess that it was a planter or urn, judging by the height of the iron rebar. Probably one like the 3rd from the right on the upper shelf @3:18. I would actually use this video to pitch to the owner of that statue yard that they could pay you to show up on a mild winter day and clean up some of the grimiest that aren't garnering interest.

[@diegovd7215]

Interesting variety of results. Maybe an idea for easier transportation of long pieces: lay them down on a piece of wood, slightly larger, and strap them. Cheers

[@bevm1938]

Love the little boy, think he has some sort of dish missing, looks like he was a fountain

Paint removal on the statue u want 150deg mate, and u aint using steam if ure under 100, once u go above 110 ul notice the jet gets a lot less liquidy and a lot more gassey but b carefull in the frozen weather cz can crack

Yeah a friend told me halfway through ramp it up but like you just said was a bit worried about the cold so will tackle it on the next episode if it’s milder :D

[@dianea3324]

Just a suggestion for content during the winter season. Try detailing cars. Pressure washing dirty exteriors of vehicles is always a good one for content.

[@infopubs]

Great way to test your new machine! The Buddha was a big disappointment but the cat and the sphere were very satisfying to watch. Fun video :)

Quality mate opens up so many options for you

[@kelpiecoco7570]

Yay!! I guessed the cat. It came out great but the big sphere came up pretty clean too.

[@thomasjohns8184]

Pre rinse with vinegar and dish soap in solution of water at a 10 to 1 mix. Let sit 15 to 20 minutes. It's as good as bleach but less toxic to plant life. The steam cleaning car engines sounds like a good use of the machine and could pay for itself. Use the same solution. Dawn dish soap is one of the best de oilers, better then some commercial degreasers on the market and again better for the environment!

[@ChakatNightspark]

Dont be worry about the people that they say Hate something you did. Yes people like things a certain way. Its their own views how something should look.

[@vidhoard]

I'd love to get the cat statue from you but I live in Colorado, US and can't pay for shipping! I'm an artist and would love to fix it up and transform it.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

A few have asked so ill do a random pick in a few days!

[@suebrown3465]

I enjoyed watching the reveal. Squirrel Dragon needs the finished cleaning/paint removal to see his true self There’s a young boy I saw on the news that charges just over £8 to clean headstones with a bucket of water and a brush…a young entrepreneur Looking forward to the next video..stay dry and warm 🇨🇦 ❤️

Great job on the testing,thing the cat came up so well as it's a lot newer and it's made of different materials than the lady statue... I love my garden ornaments to have the aged look,but at some point when they start to loose their details they need a sprouse up...they look lovely when the deep detailing his left dark...

Hi Sid! herres an ide don't bother by statues make a deal with the seller to clean them for there costumers for a fee or for free and get a short out of it or clip them together in to a compilation.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

I like it!

[@cheskydivision]

In the spring have this owner hire you to clean his statues instead of buying them. The statues don’t need to be perfectly clean, some of the staining helps bring out the features. Plus you want them clean not new. Poor kitty. Good thing none of them cracked from the temperature change. Test between different materials, stones, cement ect… you may need to handle different materials differently.

[@TheBelgiumGamesTBG]

Just a question. I want to do mine driveway in about two, three weeks. Is it wise to do that now in this season? Also love the channel and your content. Greetings from Belgium.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

It's a trricky one as it will always get dirty again but in this type of weather it'll get dirty marginally quicker, to keep a driveway clean all year round it should really be done twice a year but most people opt for once a year, march -may time, tends to keep nice till december ish.

[@TheBelgiumGamesTBG]

@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning thx for the answer :)

[@matthewbond6029]

Weirdly enough, some ornaments look better with a bit of dirt on them. The last ornament looks like some sort of bird bath or water feature. Would be worth a few quid if you had the top bit. Very nice piece for the garden.

He could make a bird feeding plate, just use concrete in a basin lined with cellophane and a pole in it lined with cellophane to make the hole
