        "text": "To maintain new grout, regularly clean it with pH-neutral cleaners and avoid harsh chemicals, especially those containing bleach or acids, which can degrade grout and sealants. Promptly clean up spills to prevent staining. If your grout is cement-based, reapply a high-quality sealant every 1-2 years, or as recommended by the manufacturer, to protect it from moisture and stains. Proper ventilation in bathrooms also helps prevent mold and mildew growth.",
