Default Greasy popcorn!

Tenants just moved out [forced eveiction] they must have deep fryed

not to mention fans are coated with grease.
Fans are down to be cleaned, walls have been tsb'd but what about
popcorn ceiling? I can't wash it. Painter friend suggested a bonding
primer. Kilz says for grease stains but then says area must be free of
grease.

I don't want to scrape this ceiling............................



If this is going to be a rental unit for any length of time,
this is as good a time as any to swap the ceiling treatment
for something that's easier to maintain. Do they still make
that white-coated masonite? That stuff cleans fairly easily.
