If the water bowls are wet and not just a swamp, I empty them into the table and mix in with the soil each morning.
In the summer, when torts are outside more and not using their tables so much, I don't tend to change the soil at all. I might top-up with fresh topsoil and mix it in.

I agree with Emma I hardly ever change my substrate but brush it over and pick up the obvious bits daily and also tip my water bowls into the soil unless it is soiled and stir it around a bit.
