if your talking about algae on something like glassware or a diffuser then i just get an old mug (or similar) and put some household bleach in and warm water and leave it for a day. i then wash it out and soak it in water and change the water for fresh when i remember! 
depends what you want to bleach? obviously i wouldnt put it in the tank

Yep, you can use whatever concentration you like of either if you are cleaning ornaments. You just have to be sure that you wash the residue away...

you could use a very weak solution and then soak it for a while after.
if in doubt, you could soak it and then test the water to see what water is present, im sure bleach leached into water must show up on a test kit some way? like a rise or dip in PH or high ammonia?

Why go through all that trouble? Use as strong a solution as you want. Wash the wood thoroughly with clean water afterwards and get on with it. No need to turn wood cleaning into an elaborate science project. If in doubt, isn't that why they invented Dechlorinator, which everyone is so in love with?

I agree.
Whenever I've performed a bleach dip I put a double dose of dechlorinator (probably unnecessary but I'm the worrier type) into the tank when I return the plant / ornament
