        "text": "Maintaining decorative millwork typically involves regular dusting and occasional cleaning with a mild, damp cloth. For painted millwork, touch-ups may be needed periodically to cover scuffs or chips. Stained millwork might benefit from occasional re-oiling or re-sealing to protect the wood. A practical tradeoff to consider is between the initial material choice and long-term maintenance. While some materials like polyurethane require minimal upkeep, natural wood, though beautiful, will generally need more attention over time to preserve its finish and integrity.",
