Depending on what the fibre is i'd use solvall, but if it's a bonded fabric you could be in trouble by causing it to de-laminate. The other problem you may have is the pen mark getting loose and spreading. Use a Q tip for testing.

What's the best way to clean this stuff.
Got a suite that has fabric cushions but
like a false suede carcass to do Friday.

Was thinking a sponge down with dilute M Power
and towel off with a damp cloth.

if its faux suede they can be washable,a good dry cleaner might be the best bet,what kind of pen?is it indelible?
