        "text": "To prolong the life of your new deck boards, regular cleaning is essential to remove dirt, mildew, and debris. Applying a high-quality stain or sealant every 1-3 years, depending on the material and local weather conditions, will protect the wood from UV damage and moisture. Ensure proper drainage around and under the deck, and promptly address any minor repairs to prevent small issues from escalating.",
