      Use 1 gallon hot water, 1 quart of bleach, and 1/3 cup dry Tide detergent. Wear gloves and, when done, rinse with clear water.

      You can reduce or remove stains from popcorn ceilings by spraying them with a strong bleach solution (1 part household bleach to 1 part water). Be careful to not get the solution on your skin or on anything you don't want bleached!
