I am painting a bedroom the basic color white. The popcorn ceilings have cobwebs & are just very dirty. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    The only thing I can think of, if you don't want to scrape off the popcorn, is to vacuum them with a soft brush attachment.

    You needs vacuum as much of the dirt and dust off as possible, then use KILZ ceiling paint and a thick nap roller.

    if it were my house, I'd just scrape it all off, Hate that stuff, always dirty
