You will have a VERY difficult time finding the answer to that question =. There is no "unmessy: way to remove a popcorn ceiling.. This link is a great start to begin your project. One thing mentioned that I wasn't aware of is the possible inclusion of asbestos if your home was built before 1980, Hope it wasn't because then I'd recommend a professional since it is hazmat material and needs to be bagged off.

I've tried almost every thing you can think of and the thing that worked best was hot water (I have a steamer), let it sit, then scrape it off. Make sure to cover walls, floors, and yourself because it is messy. I saw a youtube video where the guy attached his shop vac to the scraper so you might try that.
Make sure to have it checked for asbestos before you do it.
Thanks much
