Do any of you know a method for removing soot stains from laundry? I know that they used to use soot to make India Ink; would that be relevant for removal?

Use absorbents with solvents.
First brush the stain ; then sprinkle with an
absorbent powder–French chalk , cornstarch, corn meal , or salt . Work the
powder around until soiled and brush it off. Then if the material is washable,
sponge or wash with soap and water. If water harms the cloth, first use an
absorbent; then sponge the stain with one of the grease solvents — carbon
tetrachloride, Stoddard solvent
Another method is to make a paste by mixing an absorbent powder with
carbon tetrachloride or other solvent, spread it on the stain, then brush it off when dry.
