Customer Reviews & Photos of Rub 'n Restore®

Great product, great people. I've been using RnR on different pieces of furniture for many years now, always works great. Their advice and know-how is much appreciated!

Directions were easy, a simple to use product as long as instructions are followed. The yellow custom color match was perfect. After restoring I sealed the color. I feel as though I have a new 5 piece sectional. I did not have to restore the sides, just the seating area and a portion of the high backs and both arm rests. It looks wonderful. Most of the wear issues came from blue jeans rubbing off and dulling the bright sunny yellow seats. The sofa is 13-14 years old and a good quality leather. I couldn't be happier! Highly recommend Rub n Restore.

The product is top notch, easily applied and made my seat and saddle bags look brand new. However, although the text description of the finish attained is butterscotch, photo images of the Cognac dye on a sofa depicts a darker more chocolate shade. I did not get the darker shade like the photo of the sofa. I got the lighter shade of butterscotch. I have since ordered a second bottle of Tobacco. Lesson learned: Do not trust computer screen/website images, get sample swatches before ordering product.

My 'mom chair' had some cat scratches, was a little bit worn, and was not the right color for our living room anymore. I started with a teal chair and changed it to match our couch by mixing slate with a little bit of taupe to bring in some warm tones (as recommended by Rub n' Restore experts). I'm super satisfied how it turned out--beautifully!

I had two very nice leather couches that were probably 30+ years old and other than the color they were in excellent shape.   They were expensive when we originally purchased them as we bought them at Harrison Fine Furniture.   Anyway, I was researching on what to do with them, found Rub-n-Restore on line and decided to give it a try and could not be HAPPIER with the results.   I only went through 1 large bottle and a small amount of the second one so I could have gotten by purchasing a small and a large.   This was the result of three coats and then follow up “touch ups” of places I missed.   I may give it one more coat when it is sunny outside.   I included pictures of the one couch that was in process along with the original color so you could see the change.   I then took two pictures today showing the finished product.  I did not use the top coat yet as I sort of like it without the shine (and as I said I may do another touch up).  Bottom line is I spent a little over $100 and saved THOUSANDS and did a wonderful “upstore”!



I would DEFINITELY use this product again, they are extremely helpful and I give it a five star rating!

The descriptions and other reviews will sell you as this great magical fix all product. I followed the directions and did not get the results I expected. The directions state to wet a sponge but it shouldn’t be too wet or too dry. How is one to judge this approximation? I varied the sponge wetness and still got streaking and an inconsistent color. Maybe if you are a professional and use this product everyday you can get desirable results.

Yes it changes the feel (somewhere it states it does not).

I’m going to pay the money to have my seats reupholstered.

They have a return policy but the time I lose on shipping both ways, it’s not worth it.

If you are someone that does not care if your things look just okay and can figure out their exact technique, then this is for you.

When caring for your upholstery after applied, you cannot use vinyl cleaners or conditioners… hmm.

While moving my Friends an Family Suggested that i Throw out our Sofa an buy a new one cause it was scratched and stained badly after 12 years of use. my only regret was not taking the before picture prior to using your product. Your custom color matching service is highly recommended for a like new finish. Absolutely gorgeous!

Midnight Blue was easy to apply. Coverage was excellent. I was re-coating my armrest on old BMW, after repairing the dry leather, using their leather repair product. Not finished yet, but here where I’m at now.

Great customer service.

I’m sure you’ll see my amateur blending job on the patch and rip, but I’m still so pleased with the results. I’m not very sentimental about things but this sofa is just such a gem I couldn’t let it go to ruin and replace it with something cheap and mass produced. This sofa was from my college which was in The Fine Arts Building in Chicago, when they relocated it was up for grabs and I snatched it.  It’s been in my possession since 2003. I believe it 60-90 years old - and still going strong!  Still need to repair the tufting but doesn’t this look so great!!! Thank you so much for all the detailed instructions and help finding the right products.

This is my second project. After scrubbing this free chair with comet and hosing it off, I let it completely dry. Instead of a sponge, I used a very soft bristled, flat edge one inch brush and painted the product on. Half way thru I realized I needed to seal the leather with the clear coat stuff. Voila, gorgeous chair. White doesn't go as far but I didn't waste any by having it dry on the sponge. Paint brush was the way to go.

Our couch looks like new again! So pleased with the results. Having cushions with lots of folds and creases made things a bit more challenging.. nonetheless the product is so effortless that it wasn't too hard to make it work. Would definitely recommend!

We bought a Walworth leather sofa from Ashley Furniture in November 2017. It wasn’t long before the “leather” started to peal between the seat cushions and for the stain to rub off one of the arm rests. Both imperfections continued to worsen over time. Finally, I found the Rub N Restore site and ordered swatches for matching purposes. I then ordered the Walnut dye and the glaze. Worked like a charm!!! The arm rest repair is only visible to us and we have to look hard. We even used the dye on the cotton fabric between the seats...just painted it on with a paintbrush and the fabric absorbed it. We are still looking to replace this sofa, but, in the meantime, it is not the eyesore it had become! Highly recommend these products!

This stuff is awesome. I was shopping for a new sofa because the leather was so bad. Tried the sponge and it did not cover the discoloration. Used a paint brush and it covered perfectly. The color blended exactly. Looks like a new sofa. So happy with the results.

Red leather sofa from IKEA didn’t work for us anymore and was relegated to the basement. When my son and his wife needed a sofa, we decided to give Rubn’Restore a try. It was shocking to see what a difference it made!!! It looks brand new and is beautiful now.



I purchased a 16oz bottle of Tobacco and a 16 oz bottle of sealer. 3 coats of color, followed by 2 layers of color mixed with sealer on the sponge. I still have color left over for minor repairs and plenty of sealer. I could have purchased a smaller sealer, but wanted to use it on a couple of other pieces in my home that just need a refresher. This stuff is so easy to use and worth every penny!

AMAZING!! My 5 year old couch that has been destroyed by 4 dogs and a ton of nieces and nephews is brand new again! So thankful. I have shared my results with everyone I know!

So the pics online are great - but would it work for me? YES! It’s truly a wonderful product. See my pics of before/after. My next venture is to fix the rip in my couch.
