You should do this at least once a week, the smaller the tank, the more often you change, a small tank with lots of fish will need to be changed more often.
Before the water change you should replace (or clean) filter.
I have had great results with a product called Melafix.
It is kind of a preventative measure, and does no harm to your fish.
Last resort you can purchace short term solutions to change your water quality quickly, but good aquarium maintance is the best answer.
Put some salt in your tank it usually helps, that is all I ever used in my tank no medicine or other stuff for the ph or alkalinity
Just use coarse sea salt, and Mollies love the salt and I know they will strive
