What material? My first inclination would be a pint glass of white vinegar and come back in a week. (Checking it frequently so's nothing happens when you aren't looking.) If that doesn't loosen things up, I would try getting any sort of rod and Scotch Brite down in there to scrub a little. Make sure you have a plan to get the SB out afterwards. I should think either/or or both should return function.
