dirt particles are soluble in ethanol
The detergent is a molecule with a long nonpolar tail connected to a water-soluble polar head. The nonpolar tails surround the nonpolar dirt particles (like dissolves like) and the polar heads point toward the water. Each clump of dirt is then dispersed in the water as they are attached to these detergent molecules, sliding off clothes with agitation in the washing machine.

Detergent type floor cleaners, which are probably the most common kind, act on dirt or grease by sequestering the dirt or grease in micro-structures called micelles that are spontaneously formed in the cleaners because of their content of molecules that are polar on one end and nonpolar on the other. In micelles, the detergen molecules orient with their polar ends outside and nonpolar ends inside, and the nonpolar interior of the micelles can therefore dissolve the nonpolar dirt and grease molecules to a greater extent than can plain water. Because of the small size of the micelles, they remain suspended in the water long enough to be discarded along with the water in which they are suspended after a floor has been cleaned.
ANSWER:Because of the soapiness of the detergent the water and detergent form a less soapy but still soapy mixture of Water & the detergent, in a liquid form.
It was found that methanol and ethanol destabilize the formation of both micelles and the protein detergent complex. {destabilize = can be moved easily} no way - micelles form by the hydrophobic character of lipid tails but ethanol is not water and even though there is some polarity at the hydroxyl group it wouldn't be free enough (unobstructed) to push the fatty acids together - the ethanol chain would probably intermingle with the lipid chairs too
yes, it is soluble in water
Soaps make soluble in water fats an oils, forming specific micelles.

They cause them to mix. The detergent particles have an oil-soluble end which sticks into the oil, and a water soluble end which is attracted to the water. When enough detergent particles surround an oil droplet, it will move off into the water.
Like dissolves like. Water and oil do not mix because water molecules are polar (i.e., having either a positive or negative charge) and oil molecules are non-polar. Detergent molecules have a polar end and a non-polar end; think of a jellyfish with its head representing the polar side and its tails representing the non-polar end. In water, detergent molecules group themselves to form cage-like micelles, exposing the polar heads to water and shielding the non-polar tails. Detergent's non-polar ends stick to oil, and the detergent's polar head is soluble in water. With sufficient amount of detergent, the detergent molecules trap the oil molecules in cage-like micelles that are soluble in water. Rinse off the detergent with trapped oil and wallah! No more oil and grease! :-)
The nonpolar part of soaps or detergents "dissolve" dirt, fats and oilis; this mixture reach the internal part of so-called micelles, formed by adding soaps to water. The external part of these micelles is from polar part of soaps and detergents and is soluble in water. So thhis assembly is washed.
Most markers have alcohol-soluble pigment vehicles.
Cholesterol is only partly soluble in water. Cholesterol is a lipid (fat) which in water at room temperature, most fats are mostly insoluble in water. At higher temperatures fats are slightly more soluble.

Micelles is just another name for clay. It is very fine and can cover large areas and provides good water retention.
Polymers that are water-soluble, which means they dissolve in water. These polymers are often used to wrap products such as dishwasher tablets and pouches containing detergent for washing machines.
