Vacuum attachments enable you to clean the ceiling effectively.
Textured ceilings are also known as acoustical ceilings because the textured surface is thicker and helps absorb sound. They are also often called popcorn ceilings, since they have a bumpy texture. Many people prefer them over a smooth surface, but cleaning this type of ceiling requires more care. Cleaning a textured ceiling in the wrong way may result in stains or damage. Removing cobwebs, dust and debris on a regular basis keeps the textured ceiling looking attractive and helps maintain the ceiling paint color.
Instructions
1. Add the extender and brush attachments to your vacuum. Choose the softest brush available.
2. Go to one corner of the room, hold the vacuum attachment against the ceiling and slowly vacuum the surface of one small section. Continue on to the next section until you work your way around the entire ceiling.
3. Use a long-handled dusting tool to clean the ceilings if you do not have a vacuum with attachments. In a pinch, tape a soft cloth over a broom's bristles with masking tape. Wipe it across the ceiling to remove dust and debris. Spread a drop cloth in the area before doing this, since the debris will fall onto the floor or furniture.
4. Hire someone to spray on a new finish if the ceiling continues to appear dirty or stained after vacuuming. Another alternative is to buy ceiling paint and a paint sprayer at a home supply or hardware store and do it yourself.
