Ive had this.

 

I rinse it out w hot water first

 

then a little bleach and hot water , about a cup total.

 

I put my thumb over the valve area and give it a good shake. 

 

I don't want bleach to damage the rubber gasket , if it might.

 

Ive used a long thin brush to get some of it out in the past

 

the reservoir get sun in the afternoon

 

after its ' clean enough '

 

I cover that 1/2 w a folded ' tea or kitchen ' towel

 

that seems to take care of the problem

 

and I take the towel away when using the CSO.

 

as mentioned above , I think its algae or the like

 

not mold.  mold generally floats on the top of liquid
