sure you do , the algae is held on to the hooks kinda like velcro is, if you rub your hand across it under water you can remove some, some of it is on there better and needs a good scraping or shaking of the mat.ditrius and other particles also get absorbed into the mats so cleaning it also removes this.

when i clean it im not looking to make it spotless just remove the bulk and keep it growing at the same time
