Unless you know that your popcorn ceiling is asbestos free, you should not disturb it. Asbestos can cause serious health damage/cancer/death. Most popcorn ceilings contain asbestos.

To get rid of a stain on a popcorn ceiling I was once advised to put some hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle and spray the stain. I let it dry and then tried it again. It did take the two applications, but it worked for me. I don't know about soot, though. It's worth a try!

My ceilings, especially in my bedroom are getting a lot of cobwebs. The ceilings consist of the stuff that falls on your head if you touch it. Any suggestions on how to clean these stupid ceilings?
