The "green gunk" comes from the berries, when they are crushed in making wine. It it very hard to clean. I found that mineral spirits or paint thinner would work. The best thing is to avoid it. I now strip the berries from the heads and pout boiling water over them to extract  the juice. Seems to work much better.
