        "text": "Interior log finishes last significantly longer than exterior stains, frequently lasting 10 to 15 years or more. Because indoor logs are sheltered from rain, snow, and direct outdoor weather, the stain layer does not weather away quickly. Wear occurs primarily in high-touch areas, around entryways, near kitchen ranges where steam and grease accumulate, or alongside sun-drenched south-facing windows. To extend the life of your finish, wipe logs down annually with a damp cloth to clear indoor dust, run range hoods while cooking, and apply a light maintenance topcoat if high-friction corners begin to look dull.",
