I recommend soap and water. Lift the blade away from the glass and rub a very wet towel with some soap back and forth along the blade. Keep feeling it with your fingers between scrubs. Depending on the age of the wipers, you may not be able to get them 100% smooth so at a certain point, they'll be as clean as they're going to get. You'll still feel some imperfections and that's from wear and tear. Ideally, if in your budget, always replace your blades in Spring and Fall.

Correct replacement windshield wiper blades are not only correct length, but also correct attachment. Never just buy by length only. Always lookup your vehicle in an application guide at the store or now-a-days you can 'lookup wiper size' online. The key to an easy install is correct size/correct part numbers.

Lastly, I'd stay away from solvents and chemicals that some people may recommend - afterall, the wiper blade is rubber and chemicals can break down rubber. Be careful.
