I do about once a week, when I do laundry before Shabbos, but if they get really gross beforehand than I do more often.

Stam curious what others do.

Usually 3-4 times a week or more as needed depending on usage and before each meal on shabbos

Either every day or every second day. I only have one towel out at a time

Same...daily unless I forget, more often on shabbos and when guests around.

On the topic...where do you keep them??? Hate the on the cabinet handle look.

Change daily, sometimes a few times a day. Wash weekly. I have a lot of towels.

I keep mine over the oven door handle. If it's spread out and not crumpled it looks fine. Don't hang them inside cabinets when they're wet because they'll get moldy

I think it depends on how many towels are out at a time and how many kids you have.

Somewhere between daily and weekly depending on usage.

Every week or two, unless they get noticeably dirty or soaked
Or if I forget, then it's whenever I remember

Do you guys use lots of paper towels? We use our kitchen towels so often. No way I could only switch once a week or even less often.

A hook on the fridge near the sink

I keep a towel on the oven handle, officially it’s for drying hands but my kids
Always use it to wipe up
Spills because it’s easier to reach than paper towel. I do the towel loads every Sunday and there are usually like ten kitchen towels in there.

Same. We go through at least 1 or 2 towels a day easily.

I have a hook on the inside of the cabinets under the sinks
I switch them daily, my laundry room is on my main floor and I keep the clean ones in a cabinet in my laundry room

As well as quality of towels. I have some that need to changed after 2-3 days and some that could be out for 2 weeks easily.
