How often do you have to change towels on Airbnb?

If you don't properly clean your towels, they can grow mold or mildew and start to have a musty smell that is not ideal for guests. You will need to replace them often to keep them soft and fluffy. Aim to replace your Airbnb bath towels every three to six months.
