Hi Bobette. Yes, you can paint your recliner with chalk paint. But, Bobette, I have used a product called Woolite Rug and Upholstery Cleaner. It has removed set in stains that I swore could not be cleaned. Either way, I wish you well.
You could but if it doesn’t work the chair will be ruined. What about putting a slip cover on it?
Chalk painting upholstery is a great option.
