    Default bleach to clean tile grout?

    I've got a little algae staining on my tile grout - glass tile. I'm thinking of taking the water level just below the tile and using a scouring pad/dilute bleach to clean it - any other suggestions? Easier ways? Things to be aware of?

    First post - thanks in advance!

    Just use un-diluted bleach! Use gloves and a synthetic sponge to apply. (Wear glasses to protect your eyes from splatters.)

    A Scotch-type (green) scouring pad will SCRATCH tile; do not use. Don't use steel wool either, unless you want to give your pool 'rust' measles!
