We leave in a tropical climate, been away for 4 months come back to a pool water a bit green but the bottom floor is covers with green algae which is so hard to scrum off.

I would pressure wash first, Bleach solution may be needed after, not sure of amount and the application.

Shock treatment 2 cup twice a week, Algae blow out treatment once last week. Scraping small areas with steel brush, When water is clear and debris settle at the bottom vacuum twice a week. Kept topping up with chlorine.

One day I will get rich and buy myself one of these robotic pool cleaners (http://www.purepool.com/pool-cleaners/robotic.html) :-))) Wonder if this day will ever come. Until then I will have to do all the nasty work by myself :-((
