Default Painting a popcorn ceiling

As someone who just finished such a job, I suggest the following:
Don't try to "clean" the ceiling; simply brush off any loose particles;
protect the floor with visqueen, etc.
Buy a slotted foam (not long nap) roller and an extension handle.
Use Sears ceiling paint--guaranteed to cover in one coat, and it does.

om...



Ceilings that receive opened spewed liquids of various kinds will always
'show' the spots and grow worse with time if not CLEANED.

There is no 'brushing off' house dust that includes any form of oil and
this always happens..and flat latex just soaks it up & shows through.

Cake batter when a child is trying to 'help' can be found on the ceiling
and everything below. Using semi-gloss paint - the stains can be removed
with any good cleaner...no additional painting required.
