        "text": "Regular cleaning is crucial to prevent mildew and grime buildup. Annually, inspect your deck for loose boards, protruding nails, or signs of rot. Depending on the finish, reapply a sealant or stain every 1-3 years to protect against UV damage and moisture. Address any repairs promptly to prevent minor issues from becoming major problems. Consider professional cleaning and sealing for optimal longevity and appearance.",
