I still say try a brush - long bristles. Mine get mossy over 12 months. The mild bleach will kill the growths and it should come up - well, almost like new.

Mine is like this too. Someone suggested getting a kitchen type syringe and squirting bleach onto the green bits, leave it overnight then rinse out using the syringe and clean water. I haven't tried this yet. I used kebab sticks with cloth on the end to push in between the panes initially and got rid of the worst bits.
