Wipe down kitchen counters (I'm not meaning the obvious messes, I mean the take everything off the counter and do a serious wipedown)? Once a month I think.
Wash your bathroom towels? I change them out every week and wash them when I do my normal laundry
Wash your windows? I'm in the never category too I think. Although I probably should do it once in a while. Add it to the list.

Wipe down kitchen counters (I'm not meaning the obvious messes, I mean the take everything off the counter and do a serious wipedown)? once every week or two (light wipe down on a daily basis). Although I do not have much to move on my countertops.
Wash your bathroom towels? Once a week I do the towel loads for our bathrooma nd kids bathroom so we have fresh towels for every shower.
Wash your windows? If it is obviously dirty then i will wipe them down, I usally have to do the front storm door alot with the kids, but tejh other windows are on a "as needed" basis.
I do a thorough cleaning about once a week, which is when I do all of these things except windows.
I change out our towels every 2 days or so, but wash them with the rest of the laundry every Sunday.
I spray down the inside of the windows probably every...2 months? Not very often. Only when I start seeing fingerprints on the glass. I have never washed the outside of the windows (we rent, so that's the landlord's job).
