Steam Cleaning was a non-Friday stream format that was given a trial run in 2017 with the game Hardcube. The plan for Steam Cleaning was that in each stream Draco would pick a game from his Steam library of over 2,000 games and work toward unlocking all of its achievements. Steam Cleaning is notable if only for the fact that it's the only show on Gatorbox to have a dynamic layout; the show's graphics and overlays featured several PHP scripts built into them that would ping Draco's Steam profile every 60 seconds and retrieve his total number of achievements unlocked, the icons for the three most recently unlocked achievements, and the icons for the three "rarest" (by Steam metrics) achievements. This information would then be displayed within the layout and change accordingly.
Ultimately the series idea did not last beyond its trial run and the idea behind it was eventually absorbed into the wider Gatorbox &CHILL hangout format of stream. The pun format of the series name, in this case referring to a type of deep cleaning process, was eventually reused years later for the shortform comedy series Steam Roll which was similarly based on games available on Steam.
