That was my thought too. I use a piece of paper towel. I get the soft algae off and I don't worry about the crustier types. If you have to use something more aggressive use a Scotch Brite pad and keep it for just that purpose. There's something not quite right about those Mr. Clean erasers. Better yet, and best of all, is the regular algae scraper like @Fishmanic is talking about. It allows you to stand back a bit and see past the glare on the glass and get it all off.

Good griefI started using a gift card/credit card when I had a bad black brush infestation. A nylon scrubber would scratch the glass before it took that off. Nasty stuff. A plastic card takes it right off, though, and doesn't hurt the glass.
The Eraser doesn't have any cleaning chemicals in it. It's just a synthetic sponge. Totally non-toxic. Fact-check me!
