Water as it is called, it is a universal solvent and perhaps it is rather a miraculous solvent with unsual properties. It is able "wet" a lot a surfaces and thus able to disrupt the adhesive forces. (cohesion refers to sticking of like molecules only).

However, the murkiness in water is not due to dissolution of dead skin or dirt dissolving in water, but rather it is a suspension (hence murky). If you had a microscope, you would rather see particles of dust, mud, soil, oils, dead skin etc if someone has not taken a shower for a while. Just pouring water does not remove these things from objects, mechanical action is also needed to dislodge from the surface (e.g., dishwashers and washing machines use mechanical forces to clean items with water).

Since you appear to like science, next time do a Tyndall light experiment. Take that murky tinted water (as you call it), and fill it in a transparent glass tumbler. Pass light through it, and view that water at ninety degrees (to the light beam). If you see a light beam, it indicates really small particles floating in water. It is not a true solution.
