citra-solv is the brand name of a cleaning product, from my own experiences I couldn't find it in any uk stores, its an American brand so I bought my bottles from amazon. I learn about the technique only from online mentions and it was stated that not many other cleaners worked as well as citra-solv. so im sticking with this brand. what you do is sprinkle the liquid onto a page with interesting images and then layer another page onto of that and so on. you have to let it sit for about 10-15 minutes (it works better if the atmosphere isn't so cold) (oh and I strongly recommend excellent ventilation with windows open as its not good to keep breathing the fumes of this stuff.) after about 10 minutes carefully separate the pages and allow to dry. 

I will say it again in shouty words, THIS MUST BE DONE IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA.

heres some examples of pages I have altered.

we in the junk journal community had a citri-solv craze maybe 4 yrs ago and figured out it works especially well on vintage national geographic magazine pages
