What Drives The Price

Why Two Driveways Can Cost Different Amounts.

On paper, driveway cleaning sounds simple: square footage times rate. In practice, Myrtle Beach driveways have a few local factors that can move the price up or down 10 to 20 percent.

Red clay and iron staining

Grand Strand soil is loaded with iron and red clay. Every irrigation system eventually leaves rust stains around sprinkler heads, and tracked-in clay from landscape work leaves red footprints on light concrete. TruShine includes an oxalic acid post-rinse for rust and red clay at no extra charge. Competitors often charge $75 to $150 for the same treatment as an upsell.

Oil drops and tire marks

Standard wear-and-tear from your daily driver. Included in every TruShine driveway cleaning using a commercial degreaser pre-treatment. Fresh oil comes up completely. Oil older than 6 months or deeply set on porous concrete lightens by 80 to 95 percent rather than disappearing entirely — this is physics, not chemistry, and anyone promising 100% removal on old oil is lying.

Salt, sand, and coastal residue

Oceanfront and close-to-beach driveways collect windblown sand, salt residue, and kelp debris that needs a pre-rinse before the surface cleaner can work. This is included in every TruShine driveway wash, not an add-on.

Tree tannin stains

Oak leaves, pine needles, and magnolia seed pods all leave brown tannin stains on light concrete. These come up with standard surface cleaning but may require a second pass on heavy buildup. Included in every job.

Red Flags

Why Some Driveway Quotes Leave You With Stripes.

A good driveway cleaning looks like a single sheet of clean concrete. A bad one looks like someone painted racing stripes on your driveway. Here's what separates the two.

1. No surface cleaner. A proper driveway cleaning uses a 20 to 24-inch surface cleaner attachment — a round spinning tool that keeps water pressure even across the whole width. Cheap operators use a handheld fan-tip wand which creates zebra stripes wherever the operator's rhythm wavers. If the quote is $89, they're using a wand. You'll see the stripes the first time it rains.

2. No degreaser. Oil comes up with a degreaser pre-treatment and a dwell time. Without chemistry, high pressure just smears oil around and makes it worse. A real quote includes degreaser on every job, not as an upsell.

3. No post-treatment for rust or red clay. Oxalic acid is the only thing that removes iron staining from concrete. If the quote doesn't include post-treatment, those rust rings around your sprinkler heads will still be there when the crew leaves.

4. Stripping joint sand from pavers. Pavers and brick driveways need a lower-pressure technique so the polymeric joint sand doesn't get blasted out. Operators who don't know the difference leave homeowners with loose pavers that shift and crack within a season. TruShine uses a reduced-pressure technique and offers re-sanding as a $75 add-on.

Frequently Asked

Driveway Cleaning Price Questions.

Does driveway cleaning remove oil stains?

Yes. TruShine uses a commercial-grade degreaser pre-treatment for oil drops, tire marks, and automotive staining before the surface cleaner pass. Fresh oil comes up completely. Oil older than 6 months or deeply set on porous concrete may lighten by 80 to 95 percent rather than disappear entirely — this is physics, not a product gap.

What about red clay stains?

Red clay and rust staining from irrigation water are common in the Myrtle Beach area. TruShine includes a post-treatment oxalic acid rinse for any visible rust or red clay staining at no additional charge. Most competitors charge $75 to $150 for the same treatment as an upsell.

How long does driveway cleaning take?

A typical 600 sq-ft two-car driveway takes 45 to 60 minutes. A 100+ sq-ft driveway with a walkway takes 90 minutes to 2 hours. TruShine uses a 24-inch surface cleaner at 3,500 PSI for even, streak-free results on concrete.

Can you clean pavers without damaging them?

Yes. TruShine uses a lower-pressure technique for pavers, brick, and travertine that cleans without stripping the polymeric joint sand out. Re-sanding is available as an add-on for $75 on standard driveways if your sand is already partially washed out from age or previous aggressive cleaning.

How often should I clean my driveway?

Most Grand Strand driveways benefit from an annual clean. Coastal humidity and pollen accelerate organic staining. Homes on tree-lined lots or under oak canopies may need it twice yearly to stay ahead of tannin stains from falling leaves and pine needles.

Do you seal driveways after cleaning?

Driveway sealing is available as a separate service with its own quote. We generally recommend waiting 24 to 48 hours after cleaning for the concrete to fully dry before applying a sealer. A good sealer lasts 3 to 5 years in coastal conditions.

Does TruShine give free driveway cleaning estimates?

Yes. The satellite estimator measures your exact driveway from a live aerial view and returns a locked price in under 60 seconds. No phone call or site visit required.
