Default soaker hose question

I like the cheap black soaker hoses, but have this problem:
They clog up. What worked fine early in the season goes down below a
trickle to where hardly any water comes out.
My suspicion is algae growth.
The question is,
how can I clear clogged soaker hose ?
without waging chemical warfare on the veggies I will want to eat?
I also like to place mulch on top of the soaker hoses and anyway later in
the season pulling the soaker hose is not really an option - too
disruptive.
Any bright ideas?
Thanks
