  3. Step 3Push the blade across the ceiling in overlapping strips, emptying the bag often.

About this product

Taking down a popcorn ceiling with less on the floor

Scraping popcorn texture is mostly a cleanup problem: the chips land on the floor, in your hair and across the room. The Homax Popcorn Ceiling Scraper catches much of it at the source. A plastic bag attaches to the head under the 12 inch blade, so loosened texture drops into the bag as you push.

The head is threaded for a standard extension pole, so you can work from the floor instead of a ladder. Neither the pole nor the bag comes in the box. The blade is shaped to keep you from gouging the drywall underneath. Homax rates a 10 by 10 foot ceiling at 30 minutes or less of scraping.

Before you start

Sprayed-on decorative or acoustic ceiling material in an older home can contain asbestos. Do not scrape, sand or wet it until a sample has been tested by an accredited lab, and leave removal of anything that tests positive to a trained contractor.
