In my adult tanks, I will do spot cleaning and removal of feces, either than that I have had some spiders on the same substrate for around 2 years...I really dont worry about changing it unless the spider has outgrown its current tank..or unless there are obvious problems....
It depends on the T for me I change my G rosea every 4 months or so but she almost never eats so nothing gets messed up. I will change my H. lividum about every 3-4 because she scares me. and the rest about every 2-3. Sometimes I change them just because I want to see something new and different but you hae to think about your T my G rosea hated the sand I put in for her even though it looked sweet she wouldnt even touch it sat on her rock or water dish or her log :? so its back to fine bark
For my adults only if there is a problem. For my slings and juvies, only if there is a problem and when moving up to a larger size container. Frequent rehousing can be very stressful and I try to avoid it except when absolutely necessary for the health of the spider.
