Needing help, I placed a candle in a basket of poupourii. The poupourii went up in flames sending lots of black smoke throughout my home. I need to paint but having a hard time cleaning the soot off the popcorn ceiling. REALLY NEED HELP with any suggestions. Thx

This would be the perfect time to remove the popcorn material and replace it with a new modern texture. Popcorn ceilings are real negative for any future buyers of this property. Labor wise there is only one more step between this and marksr suggestion.

And count on needing to tape and mud the joints. They will have some mud and tape, but no where near smooth enough for painting. There are actually several additional steps to removing the popcorn.
Removing popcorn ceilings is a very messy job.
