        "text": "Maintenance requirements vary significantly by material. Natural stones like granite and marble typically need periodic sealing to prevent staining and should be cleaned with pH-neutral cleaners. Engineered quartz is non-porous and requires less maintenance, usually just soap and water. Solid surface countertops are also non-porous and can often be repaired if scratched. Understanding these differences is a practical tradeoff; for instance, granite offers natural beauty but demands more routine care than quartz. Hometelligent Inc. provides specific care instructions for each installed material.",
