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!
You deserve every blessing you get your such a good person
Loving the stone ball, it looks great!
not sure what your wife is going to say about what you've done to the lawn!
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
Great Idea!
indeed, th-cam.com/video/Y3qBnzHDMeY/w-d-xo.html
Oh I adore that cat! Such a great job as always mate, I needed that after a long day of uni work
Thank you very much! glad i can help the de-stress!
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.
Yeah i've been trying for a while but they never seem to respond!
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning Try your Returned services places? They might know of some veterans' graves etc that might do well with a clean...
There are some TH-cam channels about cleaning graves. It’s fascinating.
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.
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 !
Thank you very much!
That machine is epic, Sid!
I was rooting for the statue, but ultimately the cat took 1st prize. Good to see you again 😊
Thank you Meagan😀
Enjoy every second of your vids Sid, job well done as always.
thank you buddy!
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.
good idea! probably was a bird bath at one point in time!
@@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.
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.
A few have asked so ill do a random pick in a few days!
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
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!
Wrap them in Bubble wrap make it easier for yourself,top vid as always
haha yeah, heavy and fragile isn't a good mix :D
It´s somehow a different kind of satisfying to watch you clean some statues and I´m all here for it 😊❤
Feel the same day, it's really unique content.
Glad you enjoy it!
Great job in the cold! I noticed that some of those pieces are heavy. Do you have a back brace for work so you don't hurt yourself lifting? Your older self will thank you.
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.
I like it!
I think the sphere will come up amazingly, it’s certainly my favourite! Now let’s watch and find out 👍
Loved it, need to buy a giant one :D
That was a great advert for your skill. Have you considered approaching Edinburgh City about cleaning the Scott Monument? Apparently they had a team in there for a year and it's still absolutely filthy.
gosh, would love to give that a go, i need some connections :D
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!
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.
Thanks rose!
Would the seller be open to you stopping by to pressure washing items for the views?
I was thinking that im gonna head back in a few days and ask, could clean the mall up for pre-sale
I’m rooting for the squirrel 🐿 cause I ,Ike an underdog!
Love the little boy, think he has some sort of dish missing, looks like he was a fountain
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
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.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Lions and horses please!!
I'll try my best :D they look expensive but i'll figure it out!
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning Ask the owner if he wants anything cleaned and if u brake it u buy it ;)
I like the stone ball, certainly kicks out some heat.
Thanks again for yesterday Sid a real pleasure in working with u, it was a shame it wasn’t the weather to hang around gathering video footage. 👍
Old Neil 🤨 Lol
haha good old neil :D should of said good young neil :D looking forward to next time mate!
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning
Yes, hope that quote comes through for you in Shrewsbury with many more in the future.
Thanks for reminding me I’ll send that off inabit!
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning
I could always be your PA lol 😂
Loved it all thank you so much for sharing. Love Roos 🙋🏻♀️🤗👊🏻😁👍🏻🤩💥🥳
Glad you enjoyed it! take care
Hi mate enjoyed the video have a great day love from TEXAS
Thanks! You too!
That squirrel was a tough nut to crack.
Still a great video, and a good project to learn a bit about your new machine.
My guess is squirrel. Loving this cleanu!!😊
Squirrel became the enemy in this video! xD
My first thing by this video have been,his own wife must be "happy", when he is doing this things on them own garden. 😃 But nice idea to do this, because this old staff looks really well! Good job!
Thank you! She's actually sick of me cluttering the garden i think xd
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning Typical English Lawn 😄😄😄
If you do this again with more statues Sid, maybe get your Mrs to choose them :)
What a cool idea for a video! Would love to see more of this :)
More to come!
I, too, am disappointed in that dinosaur turtle monster.
Hi sid. Another fantastic video well done and keep up the great work and u did well there 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I'm hoping for the squirrel
Did you scald the lawn? I know it's cold but I'm just curious.
haha nah it's just where the statues have been sat for a week xD
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning Don't let those HT pipes sit on lawns when on a job Sid, kills grass effectively instantly. I use the Doff Integra regularly, and it's one of the main things I'm vigilant about.
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.
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.
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning thx for the answer :)
Sid, there are videos on you tube of people dry ice cleaning stuff - particularly car engines. Maybe that's another line of work for you. 😄 There's no end to your talent.
I will check it out sounsd interesting!
Living in the southern US I never consider snow in the UK. I really need to get about more often 🤔
It's just hitting the season now really ,we never usually get too much though
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 !
Great little video mate
Thanks buddy👍
You should go to different crematorys you can do the old headstones and different kinds of statues alot of times Noone keeps up on that kind of stuff
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.
Always love your videos.
thanks jane!
Finally! haha gonna enjoy it while eating my dinner
nice one!! sorrry for the long wait!
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning I watched it and enjoyed it thoroughly haha not usually what you clean with pressure washing but it was still a chill video
That cat reminds of Mr. Bigglesworth from Austin Powers. LMFAO!!!!
Yes, please! More of these videos!
I'm not sure you want these perfectly clean. That cat looked better dirty, I think.....I'm kind of a fan of things looking old that should look old, know what I mean?
Hi Sid I hate to be a kill joy but by removing the pateena you lower the value of antique stoneware but hey if people want clean cats and cherubs go for it. There's no accounting for taste. There's a guy on TH-cam that jet washes/steams paint off buildings might be worth checking that out? Either way best of luck to you keep the videos coming the car thing could be interesting.
I'm just seeing the steam cleaner and thinking you could just melt away the snow on any driveway or pavement with that. Water will still freeze, but still.
Love your videos, think the dragon/squirrel will come up lovely. Next would be the boy statue.
Nice video
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!
Umm, not wanting to rain on the parade but they all looked like cast cement rather than stone…. Statuary stone is often much softer than other stone such as granite and certainly softer than cast Portland cement. So, I bet some stonemasons and restoration gurus would be having kittens with that much psi being put to them.
Notice how monocoloured and smooth the cat ended up? It was more like waterjet blasting or grit blasting. Which certainly has its place….
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.
Loved this video. Can't wait to see what you buy next! P. S Mother dearest would love a statue for the garden please 😁❤️ xx
Get round there quick 😀👍
Very interesting video. I, too, thought the steam would do a better job on the older statues. Lastly, watch your swearing. There's probably some old little lady out there who spit out her tea when she heard it. Good video!
You could put a plant pot on the angel statue. The rod would go up through the drain hole. As long as it doesn’t block it completely. Trailing ivy!
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.
I thought it was Yoshi, not a squirrel. I'm kind of disappointed it wasn't Yoshi. 😄
Is the Vtuf steam cleaner going to be your “everyday” cleaner going forward or will you still opt to use regular cold water?
Some people just wake up looking forward to being assholes, Sid.
There is NO pleasing the armchair experts.
Thanks for another great and satisfying video!
12:24 TEA TIIIIME!
Thank you! It all goes overr my head now anyway, used to a few rude ones :D
Wow that thumbnail! Made me click the video. Well anyways i would have watched it!! 😁😁😁 So cool that you guys have snow already; it is weird cuz here it should be snowing but it is warm enough and it is just raining!
haha thank you! Yeah looks like it may be a rare rough winter here this year
The Ball was really satisfying and the big one of course.
The poor old broken kitty cat was the winner in the most transformation category 😉!!
Evening, actually! (Yes I’m replying to the opening line)
Love the video, super machine! Personally I love the cherub, think putting the ball on top is a great idea!! Now if you can get that to Texas....LOL!! Nasty weather, but you still cranked out a great video! All the best to you and yours Sid!!
Thank you sandi!
Wow Sid that machine is epic , love the Pokemon looking squirrel 🤣 , Need to see a Lion next maybe a giraffe? maybe you could just ask the statue owner if you could clean them therefore no costs in buying ?
cheers for the vid Sid👌
Worth a try isn't it! If not i'll have to fork out and try to resell :D
You should ask the guy if you can clean them at the yard without buying.
For the content.
I know the ball will clean up, maybe the tall statue will look the best. That's an acorn on the squirrels back by the way. That cat now looks like one of those hairless cats.
Notwithstanding your mutilation 😬, I'm amazed at how the cat came out!
Sid: I'm not used to driving in the snow, I'll be very careful!
Me: WHAT ARE YOU DOING! YOU'RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD!
Me, as my brain finally works: Wait, no-
I think the sphere will be best.
Also: did you suggest to the statuary-friend nearby that he might get better prices if they were cleaned, and that you happen to know someone who does that? (you obviously know your business better than me, but some of those looked super grimy, and not something I'd get if I had a yard that needed statues.)
Can we get some cleaning in slow motion maybe? These smaller projects would be delightful in slow mo! 🙏🏼🤩😍😁
Noted! Next time!
Greetings from the States. Thanks for your video's. Not sure why, but i find them very relaxing.
Great job on the statues, would love to see more like this.
thanks frank!
Poor pussy cat would have looked better with his other leg and tail attached but he came up good!
The guy you got them from, near your house, he should offer clients to have them cleaned & pay you to come clean the statues!
The tall statue will come out the best!! That's my guess, now back to the video!
Quality mate opens up so many options for you
Love your steamer! Can't wait to see more vids! Merry Christmas🎄
the hot water machine is also very good for the greasy oily spots in driveways.
A statue graveyard?
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.
The cat is still supper cute. I had two cats that were born with stubby tails just like that.
I love seeing the statues getting clean...well, the ones that did! Poor cat. lol
Sid, can you steam clean my life up? Make it a little better please 😭
Very cool video mate 🙂👍
Hope you kept the broken pieces of the cat, should be able to glue them back on.
Me:a squirrel? 🐿 or a bulbasaur from Pokémon 😂
Great machine Sid i would go for cat. From Richard
Little tip watch you hoses on grass will burn it and leave lines .
I think the boy statue is suppose to be the base of a fountain or a bird bath. You might be able to restore it and sell it
I think the statue came up good and the black spot is fine as it adds to its patina of age imo That suggestion on steam cleaning engines is a good one too I think
Try a very special laser to remove the paint on the squirrel.
I liked the reclamation place. Please clean the lion!!
I'm gonna say that the boy statue is going to be the better cleaned.
The cat looked like you were shaving it 😆
Can’t wait to see what you pull out of that reclamation place next. I think that ball will look good on top of that statue, great idea Sid! Great video as always! 👏🏻 We missed you while you were “away” lol. 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My guess is the atlas stone comes out best, less nooks and crannies.
DON´T KNOW THE SQUIRREL!!!
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 🇨🇦 ❤️
Hello,how many is water pressure ?
