        "text": "Maintenance depends largely on the material. Ceramic and porcelain backsplashes are generally low-maintenance, requiring only wiping with a damp cloth and mild cleaner. Natural stone, like marble or granite, is porous and requires regular sealing (typically every 1-2 years) to prevent staining and moisture absorption, along with pH-neutral cleaners. Grout lines, regardless of tile type, may need occasional cleaning with a grout brush to prevent mildew. Regular, gentle cleaning helps preserve the appearance and longevity of your backsplash.",
