You automatically use it whenever you walk over the ash covered grass. The more you walk on the ash grass the more ash you collect.
Walk around the fields with wild Spindas in them, (the grass should be a brown color instead of the regular green). Each step you take through the grass will turn the brown grass into green grass. This is to show that you've knocked the volcanic ash off of the grass as you walked through it. Each time you change a grassy spot's color to green, and have the soot bag with you, the amount of ash collected inside the bag will increase by 1. Once you have enough of this, head into town and you can have a man in town turn the soot into glass decorations for your secret base, or into flutes to be used outside of battle.
Do you remember a place where ash drops from the sky... head for the only house in this place... the guy inside will give you a sack to collect the soot... walk in the grass until a certain amount of ash is collected and then talk to the man in the house and ask for the blue flute... hope this helps -ganesh
You can find 5 flutes that can be obtained in Pokémon Emerald Version all of which are obtained the same way. There is a man who can be found in a house in Route 113 that will give you a Soot Sack the first time that you talk to him and by using that you can collect the volcanic ash that will be on the same route and every step in the ash-covered grass will add a bit more to the sack and in order for him to create the flutes the requirements are as follows: Blue Flute which awakens sleeping Pokémon: 250 steps Red Flute which snaps Pokémon out of infatuation: 500 steps Yellow Flute which will snap Pokémon out of confusion: 500 steps Black Flute, which will lower the chance of encountering wild Pokémon by 50%: 1,000 steps White Flute, which will raise the chance of encountering wild Pokémon by 50%: 1,000 steps
As you're traveling on Route 113 you'll notice a little house. Go in there, talk to the man, and he'll give you a Soot Sack. You see, this person makes glass out of ash. He tells you to collect ash with this item, and then see him when you have enough. After walking 243 steps in the ashes, you can go to him to obtain a white flute there. hope this helps :)
collect soot using soot sack and exchanges for it
You automatically use it whenever you walk over the ash covered grass. The more you walk on the ash grass the more ash you collect.
It is a key item used to pick up soot when you walk through the grass. You can exchange soot for prizes.
In Emerald, you needa go to the house that is east of Fallabour Town and go talk to that guy in the house and he will give u a soot sack if you don't have one and you need to walk quite a number of steps on those grey grass which then he will give u a white flute
You collect it automatically when you walk through the sooty grass.
You don't "use" the soot sack, you simply walk around and the soot sack takes care of picking up the soot for you...don't take my word for it, just go back to the guy who gave it to you and see how much you've accumulated. :)
To use the Soot Sack in Pokemon Ruby you simply need to walk through ash covered grass in Route 113 and the Jagged Pass. The ash is picked up automatically and can be used to make some items at the Glass Workshop on Route 113.
The White Flute can't be bought, only sold. To get it, walk 1000 steps in the grass on Route 113 after getting the Soot Sack from the guy in the house there. When you've done that, go back to the guy in the house and ask him to make you a White Flute (using the menu that comes up).

go to the glass maker near fallabor town and walk 500 steps in vocanic ash and he will give it to you as long as you have the soot bag he gives you when you first walk in.
You can get it on the route east of fallarbor town everytime you step in the grass you will receive one piece of soot.
