cleaning one pipe steam

I used boiler cleaner. I dumped the system. Return lines the boiler etc. Changed all the lower valves so they worked.
Filled the system several times to flush.
I then added boiler steam treatment HD had it.
Ran system for a couple of days.
I cooled system. Opened rear vent added water and allowed any surface oil to escape, as per instructions.
I then redumped the system and flushed.
I then refilled and added treatment again, same stuff and I left it in. It seems to work.
I have been told if it is really bad you may have to change return lines but so far so good.
Regards.
