Artex/Textured Ceiling help!

Hi everyone, I’ve just bought my first home and did research into how to remove textured ceilings, but it has been a complete failure so far. I used a water sprayer to spray warm water on the ceiling, left it for 25 mins, then attempted to scrape it off. As you can see, some texture has been removed but not ‘easily’ by any means. When I was doing this, part came loose, I pulled it off thinking it was wallpaper and now I am terrified of what damage I have caused to my ceiling. Please be kind. To say I’m a beginner is an understatement. Thank you! submitted by /u/Salty-Praline4953 [link] [comments]
