"water thinner" = nonionic detergent, probably

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).
