Hi matty
A diluted bleach solution should do the trick. Once washed off in clean water after, will be good to go.
Any stubborn crud perhaps a scrubbing brush or old toothbrush will help.

Hydrogen peroxide brushed onto it and allowed to work for a short time before submerging into water, bleach and water mix also works well or another one that a lot of people do on the marine forums is a citric acid bath.
Personally I’d try the peroxide route, soak in water for 24 hours and then let it dry.
