Popcorn and textured ceilings yellow over time from cooking, smoke and everyday dust — and you can't just wipe them without knocking the texture down. We clean popcorn, stipple and California knockdown ceilings in Edmonton-area homes, condos, rentals and businesses with a 100% biodegradable, non-toxic, food-grade solution.
Popcorn and other spray textures are soft. Scrubbing, vacuuming or a damp mop pulls pieces off and leaves bald patches that are harder to fix than the original stain.
Painting over a yellowed ceiling often doesn't work either — smoke and grease stains can bleed straight back through the new paint.
Most yellowing sits on the surface. Cleaning brings the texture back toward its original colour for a fraction of what removal or a re-spray costs, and without the mess of either.
If you still want to paint afterwards, the paint goes onto a clean surface and is far less likely to stain through.
Alberta Health Services lists textured ceiling finishes among the materials that may contain asbestos in buildings from before about 1990. If the texture is in good condition and isn't disturbed, it isn't a health risk.
We clean the surface — we don't scrape, sand or remove texture. If your ceiling is damaged or crumbling, or you're planning to remove it, have it tested first. Barry will ask when your home was built.
Yellowed ceilings are one of the first things a buyer or new tenant notices. We clean textured ceilings in houses, condos and rentals, often alongside the walls, and as part of a move-in or move-out clean.
Yes. Most yellowing and grime sits on the surface of the texture and can be lifted off without scraping, as long as the ceiling is in sound condition.
No. We don't scrub, scrape or soak the ceiling. Our biodegradable, non-toxic solution lifts grime off the surface so the texture stays intact.
It might if the building is from before about 1990. Alberta Health Services advises leaving materials that may contain asbestos undisturbed and having them tested by an environmental consultant before any renovation. We clean the surface only; we don't scrape or remove texture.
Cleaning is the cheapest and least disruptive, and it is often enough. Paint can stain through if the ceiling isn't cleaned first. Removal is the most expensive and messiest, and older ceilings need testing before anyone disturbs them.
Yes — houses, condos, rentals and any other space, as well as commercial buildings.
