To remove dirt from windscreen-wiper rubber, where the manufacturer specifies no different product, which gentle method may be used?

Correct answer

With a soft cloth or soft paper dampened with water, following manufacturer instructions.

Gently wipe with a soft cloth or soft paper dampened with water, following manufacturer instructions. Avoid corrosive products or solvents whose compatibility has not been checked. It is incorrect to claim every alcohol-containing product always damages every blade; some manufacturers permit isopropyl alcohol or specified liquids. Follow your vehicle’s guidance and replace damaged blades; cleaning does not repair damaged rubber.
