Can anyone help me reagrding Removing Algae etc.on Artificial Plants

Very hot water. Or perhaps bleach, ensuring they are perfectly flushed off afterwards. I had some once that had algae on and I just put them under running water and rubbed the 'leaves' with my thumb and forefinger.
 
The best way though is to throw them away and buy some new ones, they are pretty cheap.

thanks too risky using bleach imo
yes i think ordering  new set is he most efficient way, do i need to wash them in tank water before using them?

Just rinse them off under the tap to remove any dust or contaminates, they'll be fine.
