But be careful... once you have it tested the cat is out of the bag and you will have to hire pros to remove asbestos (very expensive). Kandi - we just removed the popcorn texture off the vaulted ceiling in the dining room. It had been painted (sprayed) several years ago. We wet the ceiling using the same technique and it still worked. It took a bit more water to saturate... Lisa – I would recommend testing for asbestos on older homes.

I have come across two types of popcorn ceiling materials, one is the melting kind that when you try and paint it it literally melts if you get it too wet and the other is less porous which I think is what I think Debra has. Either way they will soak up water and scrape off...but it sure is a messy job! Good Luck! Yes you can!

My question is-can you use the same technique if the ceilings have been painted? Thanks, Kandi Hi, I want to remove the popcorn from my ceilings too.
