How do floor cleaners act on dirt or grease?

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.
