        "text": "Maintenance varies significantly by material. Quartz is non-porous and generally low-maintenance, requiring only mild soap and water for cleaning. Granite needs to be sealed periodically (typically annually) to prevent staining and should be cleaned with pH-neutral cleaners. Marble is the most porous and requires frequent sealing, immediate spill cleanup, and gentle cleaners to prevent etching and stains. Laminate is low-maintenance but susceptible to heat damage and scratches. We provide specific care instructions for your chosen material.",
