Wet it with a pump sprayer
For easier scraping and practically no dust during popcorn ceiling removal, use a garden pump sprayer to mist the ceiling and let it soak in for about 15 minutes before scraping. Only give it a light misting—too much water could damage the drywall or loosen the joint tape.

I hired the remaining areas to be done professionally at about $400 a bedroom.
I agree with Dee and there are some tutorials on YouTube.
