This is an old thread, but your question is current. We take a large sprayer used for outside plant feeding, fill with hot water, and a cup of fabric softener. Spray and allow it to sit. Scrape with a tool used to mud drywall. It's messy, but not hard. It's very costly to have it removed. In houses built prior to the 1970's there may be asbestos. I'm not sure if your house fits into that age group, but you may want to get it tested. We use masks even with the new popcorn ceilings.
