Popcorn ceilings...best way to clean?

I absolutely hate popcorn ceilings!! Most of all cleaning them is the worst...any suggestions on the best/ easiest way to clean them? Possibly suggestions without making a huge mess or getting ceiling pieces constantly falling on me would be great!

A huge thanks in advance!!!!

Re: Popcorn ceilings...best way to clean?

  • Assuming you have cobwebs... I'd just spot vacuum.

    If we're talking a spaghetti sauce explosion (heating up sauce, no lid on the pot, sauce goes *poof* and lands all over the ceiling)... repaint.

    Good luck. I hate popcorn ceilings. They're impossible to clean.

    Hint... Valspar makes ceiling paint that is purple when you paint it on and then turns white when it dries. You might want to get that so you know you didn't miss any spots. Just don't use it in a bathroom... the shower steam will keep re-activating the tint.

    Oh man, I want a magic bathroom!

  • We have pocorn ceilings and we used an oil based paint and a big roller to paint the ceilings. We were told latex paint can eat the popcorn ceiling

  • Hi - do you own your home?  A few years ago I helped my parents flip a house and I took the popcorn ceiling down by myself!   What you need to do is get a ladder, a portable sprayer with water (with a pump) and a scraper.  Once it's wet it comes down pretty quickly.  It is messy, but the popcorn ceiling will be gone forever.  Just put plastic down.  Updates the house in a hurry!
