If it has started looking a little tired, do not replace it yet. Nine times out of ten, a bite molds that seems worn out just needs a thorough, careful clean.

By the end, it should be back to its best.
How to Clean Silicone Egg Bite Molds 4-Pack in 7 Easy Steps
Deodorize and degrease with baking soda. If the bite molds has any lingering smell or a greasy film that soap alone did not lift, make a paste of baking soda and a little water. Spread it over the affected areas of the Silicone Egg Bite Molds 4-Pack and let it sit for five to ten minutes. Baking soda is mildly abrasive, enough to lift film without scratching, and it neutralizes odors rather than masking them. Then scrub gently with your soft sponge and rinse well. This step alone revives a bite molds that seemed past saving.
Descale with white vinegar if needed. Hard water leaves chalky white deposits on the bite molds over time, especially on metal parts of the gadget. Soak a cloth in white vinegar and lay it over the affected spots for ten minutes, or wipe them down thoroughly. The mild acid dissolves mineral scale without harsh chemicals. Rinse it well afterward so no vinegar taste or smell remains. Do this as needed, not every time; for most users, a monthly vinegar pass keeps the bite molds spot-free.
Rinse thoroughly under clean water. Soap residue is the enemy of a truly clethis kitchen tool. Rinse every piece of the bite molds under clean running water until the water sheets off without beading or slick spots. Turn pieces over and rinse from multiple angles, because soap hides in the same crevices food does. If your tap water is very hard, a final rinse with a splash of vinegar in the water helps the Silicone Egg Bite Molds 4-Pack dry spot-free. Take your time here; incomplete rinsing is one of the most common cleaning mistakes.
Dry completely before reassembling. Moisture is what causes odors, water spots, and corrosion on the bite molds, so do not put the tool away damp. Shake off excess water, then towel-dry each piece with a clean cloth, getting into the crevices. For best results, let the parts air-dry on a rack for a while before you put the gadget back together. Trapped moisture between assembled parts is the number one cause of musty smells, so patience here pays off.
Reassemble and do a final check. Put the bite molds back together, making sure every part of it seats properly. Then give it a once-over: run a finger along the food-contact surfaces to check for any remaining film, sniff for lingering odors, and confirm moving parts move freely. If anything feels off, it is easier to re-clean now than after the Silicone Egg Bite Molds 4-Pack has been sitting in a cabinet. A clean, dry, correctly assembled bite molds is ready for storage or immediate use.
Polish and protect the finish. For the final touch, buff the exterior of this kitchen tool with a dry microfiber cloth. This removes any remaining water spots and restores the finish of the bite molds, which is especially noticeable on metal and glossy surfaces. If it has wooden or bamboo elements, make sure they are fully dry, as prolonged dampness is their main enemy. A quick polish takes thirty seconds and keeps the bite molds looking like something you are proud to leave on the counter.
Clean the parts you always forget. Be honest: there are spots on the bite molds you have never cleaned. The underside, the back, the joint where two parts meet, the tiny recess around any fastener. Take an extra minute on the tool and hit those neglected areas with your brush and soapy water now. These forgotten zones are where the worst buildup lives, precisely because they never get attention. Future you will thank present you every time the bite molds comes out smelling like nothing at all.
