Snails will not clean up the algae. Yes they will eat some of the algae and poop a lot and use up oxygen that your fish need but certainly they will not clean the tank. The only way to get rid of the algae is to physically remove it with scrubbers, scrapers and maybe a syphon hose too depending on how bad or thick the algae is.

yes that is why they go up and down the tank. There eating algae even if your tank looks clean there will be microscopic algae everywhere, but if you let them live on algae they will die because they need to eat apples or cucumbers.
If you got snails from the wild how do you care for them?
Keep your snails in a tank filled with water. Snails, from the wild or not, will love to eat aquarium plants that are sold at any pet store. Also, don't keep the tank to clean, for they like to eat small amounts of algae off the tank walls. I also feed my snails shrimp pellets, which they love! Good luck taking care of your snails!
What do you feed snails that have no fish in the tank?
If there is algae (the green stuff) on the tank, or objects in the tank, then you don't need to feed them at all. If not, depending on the size of the snail, you can get algae "chips" that the snails will feed on. Here's a site that can help.

What fish clean other fishes?
There are many different aquarium animals that will clean algae off the walls of your aquarium. I will name a few: Cories, Plecostomus (AKA, Pleco) and more. There are some algae eaters that are not fish. Mystery snails, freshwater snails, and other water snails eat algae. Ghost shrimp are small and are very easy to take care of. They clean the decorations in your fish tank and eat any uneaten, leftover food.
