Rubbing alcohol works great, but some of the newer types of wipers (I don't know about the ICONs, but some types of Bosch wipers I've bought in the past did) have graphite on the blades, like some kind of dusting or something. The first time you clean them with rubbing alcohol, you wipe that off.
Kinda like cleaning your carpet with bleach I guess. It WILL come clean, but it may not ever look right again.
Okay, it's not really remotely like cleaning your carpet with bleach. I'm bad with examples.
