Ethanol works. You can then dissolve the resulting solution in water, though I've never tried more than a 50/50 ethanol/water mix.
With solvents. The kind of solvent depends on the "plastic" involved. Polystyrene dissolves in benzene or toluene Polyurethane (not the thermoplastic which is insoluble in most solvents) can dissolve in acetone. Polyethylene is resistant to most organic solvents. Styrofoam will dissolve in the isopropanol solvents used in some glues. This can be helpful or hindering when working with arts and crafts.
hexane
Solvents which can dissolve fats,e.g ether, benzene, acetone.
Alcohol is used only in the chromatographic separation of substances that do not dissolve in other common solvents but dissolve in alcohol.

Solvents are used to dissolve solutes.

Yes. Like dissolves like!

Generally polar solvents dissolve polar solutes and vice versa.
=a polar solvent dissolves a polar solute, and nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes. likes dissolve likes=
Ethanol and acetone are common solvents. Co-solvents can include propylene glycol and glycerin to fully dissolve.
In general, inorganic compounds will dissolve in polar or inorganic solvents such as water, whereas organic compounds will dissolve in organic solvents. However there are many exceptions to these.
