Tenants just moved out [forced eveiction] they must have deep fryed
everything without ever opening a window. Now all walls and ceilings
not to mention fans are coated with grease.
Fans are down to be cleaned, walls have been tsb'd but what about
popcorn ceiling? I can't wash it. Painter friend suggested a bonding
primer. Kilz says for grease stains but then says area must be free of
grease.

I don't want to scrape this ceiling............................

I have no idea, but if you have a small out of the way place to try
something, I think I would try a foam roller with ammonia followed
quickly be a dry roller to get the grease. Plus all the usual warning
about safety glasses and ventilation....

I woould try the kilz over the grease. I have painted over dirty paint
with Kilz and had no problems. Might take a couple o' coats.

The best primer might be 3/8" drywall. Not sure you'd want
to keep a textured ceiling over a kitchen anyway.

For people who come from a culture of perennial suffering, textured ceilings
like seeing the image of the virgin mary in their container of cream cheese.
