No. I don't really believe in soap nuts anymore either (as more than what it traditionally is used for.) 
But let me research it later today.

I'm researching it now. For this to work you need that specific type of chestnut - the horse tree chestnut. It contains saponins which are the "soap" part of it which works as the surfactant. If it is effective, I cannot say. Generally, no. 

From what I've collected of user experience*, it didn't remove stains. [x] Historically it seems to be used more for whitening clothes, linen, etc. than washing them, and that the fabric will take on more of a white-blue tone that may cover up yellowing. Since it is very mild, a suggestion that came up was that it could be better suited for wool.

Also, they are supposedly toxic to eat and for aquatic life.
If you are going to try it, it's a make-to-use-right-away sorta thing. Natural products don't have a long shelflife.

* all those blogs and forums, I'm deceased now.

I was considering it, but I ended up with a different pick. Bloodflowers have tried soap nuts that I know at least.
