You can use nerite snails, there are many types available such as horn nerites, zebra nerites and ruby nerites. They are available at most fish shops. The snail wont leave a trail behind (a slime trail if thats what you mean).

For me, manual cleaning works best... nerite snails are good but they lay eggs like there is no tomorrow... a but of eye sore for me...

Zebra nerite snail I would use to clean my algae tank, they can survive in any range of PH level.
Try to avoid horn nerite snails as the will lay eggs if you over fed and they wont be able to survive in low PH.
You can buy these two types of snail from Y618 or C328
