Oh gee... I don't know...I would mark with it on scrap fabric and try everything in my laundry room and see what works best. Try oxiclean?

Is it a PENCIL or permanent PEN?
If it is the Pencil, it will wash out. Put Dawn dish soap on the line and with COLD water gently rub in the wash as normal.
I use a black template pencil to mark all my fabrics white satin.

try nail polish remover on a small section and see if that works.

Hair spray takes out pen. Maybe it would help. I'd try all remedies on a scrap piece first though.

It's a grease pencil. Dish detergent with a good degreaser is your best best. How do I know it's a grease pencil - one of my dogs chewed one up yesterday on my bedspread. I'll be using the dish detergent, too. My punishment for leaving her for the day??

I would try Dawn or oxyclean.

dawn dish soap--warm water and a soft tooth brush--
magic erasers might work too- i have found them to be (magic) on some traumatic incidents..
