Each of those items a scientifically classified as insulators. They are quite good insulators and are use as such in many applications.
Any contaminate insulator may become conductive but that had no bearing on the scientific properties of the pure product.

Water itself does not conduct electricity, but there are ions in water that do. Plus, any impurities (ei. salt) will conduct electricity.
Metals are the best conductors of electricity; wood, rubber, and glass are the best resistors (will not conduct electricity at all).
