Moss on Window Seals

I've recently purchased a Mk2 Punto JTD and it was left standing for a year before I purchased it. She runs like a dream but since she was left standing for a year, the window seals have got a bit of moss on them.

Will it be safe to use bleach to remove the moss without damaging the paintwork or seals?

Thanks all.

I wouldn't pressure wash them too close! Get an old toothbrush and scrub it off with that.

Thanks guys, an old toothbrush and some elbow grease did the trick.
