I have removed popcorn ceiling many times. You need a lawn and garden sprayer. A lot of protection with plastic over furniture and get started. I use DIF in a sprayer very hot water. Spray on ceiling and wait for the DIF to work in. Use a drywall spackle knife and remove all the popcorn. The trick is to not water too much for you will remove the paper on the drywall, this is a no no and will cause you to spackle the removed paper which is a problem when you want to finish and paint.
