Water isn't effective for dissolving greasy stains because grease is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water and doesn't mix with it. Instead, grease requires a solvent that can break down its oily structure, such as soap or detergent, which contain molecules that can interact with both water and grease. These surfactants help emulsify the grease, allowing it to be lifted away from surfaces when rinsed with water.
