        "text": "While often used interchangeably, 'cleaning' can refer to a broader range of tasks like dusting, wiping, or vacuuming to remove loose debris. 'Washing' specifically involves using water, often with a detergent or degreaser, to remove dirt, grime, grease, mildew, and other contaminants that are deeply adhered to the surface. Washing is a more thorough process crucial for ensuring proper paint adhesion and is typically part of comprehensive surface preparation.",
