Rat Education and how they breed.

Hillcrest Kwikspar

Setting the example is to put Hygiene and quality number one on your list.
At Hillcrest Spar, we try and set the example so please show this video to your community in the area of Crawford because we have no control over the hygiene of other Spar's in other areas after seeing the video it looks rather messy and out of our control.

Let the Kromboom Spar make a video of there business to win back the confidence and try and get rid of the infestations that are bothering the consumers.

They are giving our brand a bad name.

Let them invest in better hygiene because that is what our brand is all about.

Your Sincerely

Boeta Ameen Story

The Story of Brother Ameen of the same neighborhood.


Dead Rats found in Sunnyside road in parking area close to power station.

Good Morning/Salaam

My name is Ameen I am from the area and well known to the public, and ever since Spar moved here It was just ugly and stinky just taking a stroll to the chemist was a smelly effort.

I need my excercise, on the 15 January 2019 I remember well on a Teusday morning at about 11:30 am, I walked pass the rear end of the Spar Sunnyside road opposite the pharmacy and I saw two dead RATS in the road smelling at the rear gate of the Spar most probably ran over or killed by a delivery vehicle or a passing vehicle

The Smell is unbearable during the day, we have a pharmacy opposite the same road making it even more difficult for customers to get into the entrance because trucks are forever blocking the way.

That whole food complex is just filthy in the backyard.

Why don't they throw their dead rats in their own bins instead of the street, where other, vehicles drive and people walk. Rats even on the grass of another parking lot on the side of the pharmacy right behind other peoples property, this is not right. It is unethical.

I AM JUST WARNING BUSINESS IN THAT COMPLEX NOT TO PROTECT SPAR IN ANYWAY WHATSOEVER, YOUR PEOPLE JOB IS TO KEEP YOUR OWN BUSINESS CLEAN. SO YOU BETTER ALL JUST SHUT UP AND STAY THE HELL OUT OF THIS STORY, BECAUSE THEN YOU WILL BE INVOLVED IN THIS MESS.

CONSUMERS MUST GET THE BEST QUALITY NOT CRAP OR JUNK.
YOU CAN BUY CHEAP BUT LET IT BE QUALITY.



I was in the bakery before the new owners, it is right next to the bins and the public may go investigate themselves the condition of that stinking backyard.

Truck drivers are hazardous to the area as many large and expensive vehicles find it difficult driving in Sunnyside road, that part of the road is not designed for the parking of trucks or even any form of delivery vans.
These drivers do not take any responsibilty for damaging your expensive vehicle they lie just as the SPAR owners.

I do not expect the public to take my word, go and do your own investigation at the Spar and the Backyard, they look all clean from the inside but checkout their kitchen and have a good eye for cockroaches, you never get rid of that insect no matter how hard companies try.

A very good friend of mine who had passed away bought a block of flats in paarl infested with cockroaches for more then 45 years did you hear, 45 years the previous owners tried their best to get rid of the cockroach epidemic until the building burnt down many will know in paarl about Kats flats with all those cokroaches.

Cockroaches and mice live from waisted food from restaurants and bakery scraps this is how they breed.
If those companies do not have the best hygiene and scientific methods to control it, you the consumer will end up eating these insects and rats/mice in your fast food and even baked pies.

THE SPAR IS WELL AWARE OF THE TRUTH ABOUT THE STORY THAT IS HITTING THE INTERNET THEY ARE QUIET AND ARE TRYING THEIR BEST TO CLEAN UP.

OTHER BUSINESS IN THE SAME COMPLEX ARE MARKETTING BIG TIME SOTHAT THE STORY CAN DIE OUT.

BUT I AM ALIVE AND STILL TICKING AND WILL KEEP THE TRUTH ALIVE.

TO THE PUBLIC GO TO THEIR BACKYARD FOR A TOUR AND HAVE ALOOK AT WHERE THEIR BAKERY IS SITUATED..

FIRSTLY THE SPAR MUST STOP LYING TO THE PEOPLE AND STAYING SILENT ABOUT THEIR INFESTED PEICE OF SPACE THEY ARE RENTING.

RATHER GET THE HELL OUT OF THE AREA AND FIND SHOP SOMEWHERE ELSE.

WARNING! RATS AND COCKROACH INFESTATIONS AT KROMBOOM ROAD KWIKSPAR UNHYGIENIC

To all members of the public who shops at Kwikspar Kromboom Road should refrain from shopping there as new evidence has arised that their cockroach and rat infestation is now uncontrollable.

Three weeks ago Mrs Samuels from heideveld purchased a large pie with a mouse in it.

On Wednesday 2 weeks one of the workers who cleaned one of the isles scooped a rat and took it to the back most probably where the bins were, one of the co-workers quickly covered it with a mop so-that this awful scene could be out of the public eye as the shop was extremely busy on a Saturday morning.

Another incident that I have observed was when an elderly person most probably suffering from dementia who walked with his trolley to go to the atm next door to Tashreeqas was ill-treated by a security guard for walking out allegedly for not paying, the security guard who followed him gave him a few smacks and he fell to the ground, after observing all this the goods were all paid at the counter by a family member who ran out of his vehicle.

On 17 Sunday 2019
I went to the bakery counter at KWIKSPAR to order a dozen of rolls and to my demise, I saw cockroaches walking over the rolls, I could not handle the sight of what I saw and just walked out and promised myself never to purchase at KWIKSPAR ever again.

Nadeema Davids.

How to Buy Canvas Fabric Duck Cloth Online

To buy canvas fabric duck cloth online, purchasers must select specific textile weights ranging from 7 to 30 ounces per square yard and specify bolt widths between 36 and 72 inches. As of early 2026, managing procurement for wide-format textile printing and industrial manufacturing requires exact material matching. Over the past decade, I have sourced and evaluated thousands of linear yards of industrial textiles. This article covers the physical properties, grading systems, and purchasing logistics of plain-woven cotton duck fabric. Unlike apparel retail sites, this document excludes printed novelty fabrics featuring waterfowl designs.

Below is the immediate purchasing specification matrix for rapid material sourcing.

What Is Cotton Duck Cloth and How Does It Differ From Standard Canvas?

Cotton duck cloth is a heavy, plain-woven cotton textile distinguished by its tightly packed yarns. Standard canvas features a looser, more open weave. Duck fabric utilizes two plied yarns in the warp (vertical) and a single yarn in the weft (horizontal). This tight yarn count blocks wind, resists snagging, and limits water penetration.

The classification originates from the Dutch word doek. This translates to linen canvas. 17th-century sailors originally utilized this dense material for sea apparel.

Tightly woven cotton duck yields a higher tear resistance than open-weave canvas. Industry testing validates this structural advantage. A Number 8 duck canvas regularly exceeds 200 lbs of tensile strength when subjected to the ASTM D5034 (Grab Breaking Load) test. The tight weave provides a smooth surface, holding high-resolution ink retention for textile printing without bleeding.

How Are Duck Canvas Weights Categorized: Ounces vs. Numbered System?

Textile manufacturers categorize duck canvas using two distinct measurement systems: the single-fill ounce weight system and the double-fill numbered system. Fabric weight depends on a square yard of material.

The single-fill system uses one yarn in both the warp and the weft. Retailers sell this by its direct weight per square yard. Lightweight 7-ounce to 10-ounce single-fill fabrics provide flexibility.

The numbered duck system applies to heavy, double-fill fabrics utilizing plied yarns. A lower number designates a heavier, thicker textile. Consequently, a Number 12 duck weighs 11.5 ounces, while a Number 1 duck weighs 30 ounces per square yard. Heavy grades undergo the ASTM D1424 (Elmendorf Tearing Strength) test to quantify resistance against sudden puncturing.


Numbered Grade


Weight (Ounces per Square Yard)


Metric Weight (Grams per Square Meter)


Number 12


11.5 oz


390 g/m²


Number 10


14.75 oz


500 g/m²


Number 8


18.0 oz


610 g/m²


Number 6


21.0 oz


710 g/m²


Number 4


24.0 oz


810 g/m²


Number 1


30.0 oz


1,000 g/m²

Which Canvas Weight Matches Specific Textile Projects?

Selecting the correct textile weight dictates the structural integrity of the fabricated item. You risk needle breakage and motor burnout if you attempt to sew Number 4 duck on a standard domestic sewing machine.

Event organizers utilize heavy 10-ounce wide-width duck canvas as the base material for step and repeat banners. The weight prevents the banner from curling under tension. Conversely, apparel manufacturers select 7-ounce duck for chore coats, prioritizing flexibility over rigid tensile strength.

Sourcing Wholesale Duck Cloth Rolls

Purchasing full rolls requires understanding the selvedge edge. The selvedge edge prevents the fabric from unraveling on the bolt during transit. Wholesale suppliers ship these rolls in continuous yards. Fabricating massive items like circus tents demands 100-yard continuous rolls to minimize weak structural seams.

Purchasing Bulk Canvas Fabric by the Yard

Calculating accurate yardage requires matching pattern dimensions against fixed bolt widths. Unbleached, greige goods (raw loom-state fabric) contract upon initial laundering. Buyers must use an exact mathematical formula to calculate shrinkage for 100% cotton prior to fabrication.

  1. Identify the finished length: Determine the exact measurement of the final manufactured product.

  2. Apply the warp shrinkage formula: Multiply the required finished length by 1.15. This accommodates a 15% maximum warp shrinkage typical of untreated 100% cotton.

  3. Verify continuous cuts: Specify "continuous yardage" on the purchase order to prevent the supplier from shipping fragmented scrap pieces.

What Are the Common Finishes and Treatments for Duck Cloth?

Raw, loom-state cotton duck represents the base material. Manufacturers apply chemical treatments to alter its performance in specific environments. You will degrade the material rapidly if you deploy untreated cotton in high-moisture outdoor settings without a protective barrier.

  • Natural/Unbleached: Retains the raw, off-white color of the cotton boll. Manufacturers use this strictly for custom dyeing or priming.

  • Primed: Features an acrylic gesso coating. This barrier prevents oil paint from rotting the natural cotton fibers over time.

  • Waxed: Integrates a paraffin or beeswax blend. This creates a highly water-resistant and windproof barrier for outdoor gear.

  • Sunforger: Employs a specific chemical bath. This resists UV degradation, water penetration, and mildew growth on boat covers and yurts.

  • Fire Retardant (FR): Meets National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 701 standards. The fabric self-extinguishes upon flame removal, mandated for commercial event drapery.

Direct Purchasing Specifications for Online Fabric Sourcing

Purchasers seeking to acquire duck cloth online must align material specifications directly with application requirements. Sourcing platforms structure their inventory around the single-fill ounce weight (7oz to 12oz) and the double-fill numbered system (#12 to #1). Selection relies entirely on matching the physical thickness and width (ranging from 36" to 72") to the required tensile strength of the end product. Treated finishes alter the chemical behavior of the base cotton. Buyers must specify treatments like Sunforger for marine environments or NFPA 701 certification for commercial indoor installations.

Key Takeaways for Textile Sourcing:

  • Weight determines application: Lightweight (7oz) suits apparel, medium-weight (10oz) fits bags, and heavy-weight (#8) constructs industrial covers.

  • Measurement defines cost: Inventory prices reflect the linear yard, keeping the bolt width fixed.

  • Raw cotton shrinks: Unbleached, greige goods contract by up to 15% upon initial laundering, requiring buyers to multiply required yardage by 1.15.

  • Coatings change properties: Waxed, primed, and fire-retardant treatments modify the fabric's breathability and flexibility for specialized environments.
