        "text": "Redwood decks require periodic cleaning and sealing to maintain their appearance and extend their lifespan. Cleaning typically involves washing with a mild cleaner to remove dirt and mildew. Applying a UV-protective sealant every 1-3 years helps prevent graying and cracking, especially in areas with significant sun exposure. The frequency of maintenance can be a practical tradeoff, balancing the deck's appearance against the effort invested.",
