Cleaning a Popcorn Ceiling

Hello, I use a webster. It is a dust stick you can buy at Lome depot/Lowes. Not all popcorn ceilings contain asbestos (we had ours tested for $60.00) so you might want to consider having that done.

It shouldn't be disturbed at all because most popcorn ceilings contain asbestos and asbestos is a known carcinogenic.

Use a broom with a soft cloth secured over the bristles and gently brush the debris away. If you don't know the age of the popcorn ceiling be sure to wear a mask because the popcorn ceilings installed prior to the 1980's more than likely contain asbestos. Also be sure to clean up all droppings right after wiping the ceiling that might have fallen and wash the cloth used.

I keep a broom special for that purpose and sweep the area that is dusty.

The house we are renting has "popcorn" ceilings. I need to clean the ceiling because dust from the ceiling fan has left a brown ring.

I have the old popcorn ceiling. Now it is covered in dust from the ceiling fans, I guess. How can I get the layers of dust off with out taking off the popcorn and making a big mess?
