Detergents (both ionic and nonionic) lower the surface tension of water, allowing it to be "wetter", which permits it to enter into the grooves more effectively. This also makes it a more effective solvent. This is no big secret. There are probably other chemical classes that have a similar effect on the surface tension of water, like maybe glycerols (I'd have to look it up).
