I've heard that some people go years even. I got my first T in April of this year and have not had to do anything major since then. If you have a T that requires wet sub (babies, swamp dwellers), you will probably need to change it periodically to avoid mold and mites. Any safe container will do for temporary housing as you clean. It should have a secure lid.</blockquote>
