Question:
Answers:
how the hell did you get popcorn on your ceiling in the firstplace?
Wet with a spray bottle of water then scrape it with a flat scraper. Do one section at a time
First you will need a ladder, climb up and with a sponge ,warm water and a small amount of dish washing liquid , wipe, then rinse with clear water. Have a star , you made me laugh
First and foremost, be sure your ceiling doesn't have asbestos in the popcorn ceiling "finish". Some houses do and you wouldn't want to come into contact with it if yours does have asbestos in it. You'll more than likely be able to determine that it does NOT have asbestos if the house is new enough to where it was built after they stopped using asbestos. If I were you, I'd contact a painter and just ask if they would tell you the year the practice was stopped. THEN, if you are sure your home doesn't have asbestos in the finish of the "popcorn" then you'll have to spray with a bit of warm water, letting it soak in, by spraying a small amount at a time until it's relatively wet and then scrape it with a wallpaper removing tool being very careful not to gouge the ceiling or else you'll be doing additional sheetrock repairs on top of painting when the "popcorn" finish is removed.
Now, if you aren't sure if the home has asbestos in the ceiling finish or if you know it DOES have it, you'll have to contract with a professional to remove the "popcorn" finish as it should always be done by a professional. It's a very dangerous job and you shouldn't tackle it without proper training and materials. GOOD LUCK TO YOU!
swerwin williams has the tool. you soak it good wth water and the scraper dros the poppcorn in a bag! how cool is that?
Stellas answer is the most complete and correct. you really need to be sure there is not asbestos in the ceiling. Also, even if there is NOT I really encourage you do wear a professional face mask that filters particles out of the air (it covers your mouth and straps on your face) so you aren't breathing ANYTHING into your lungs.
I did this to my room when I was younger and my dad taught me how. Also, if you start to get dizzy then come down off the ladder, take a break, and drink some water. (Since you are looking up the whole time, etc. your neck can get sore too).
And wear goggles because it will fall all over your face and eyes.
