If your aircon’s been wheezing louder than your mate after a jog, chances are your coils are clogged. Don’t stress — it’s more common than you think. Dirty coils make your aircon work overtime, driving up your power bill and wearing out the system faster. But here's the kicker: with the right coil cleaner, your aircon could be running like new in under an hour. That’s where Viper Coil Cleaners come in.
Today, we're diving into the Viper range to see which product is best for your home, your needs, and your budget — all without the hard sell. Whether you're a seasoned DIYer or just trying to keep the house cool for summer, this guide will help you cut through the foam (literally).
It’s easy to forget about your aircon — until it starts blowing warm air during a heatwave or smelling like damp socks. Here’s why a proper clean matters:
Improves airflow and system efficiency
Lowers energy bills by reducing strain on your unit
Extends the life of your HVAC system
Prevents mould and bacteria from circulating through your home
And in Aussie weather, between the dust, humidity, and beachside salt air? You really can’t afford to skip regular maintenance.
Let’s break down the top picks from the Viper Coil Cleaner collection. Each has a unique role to play, depending on what kind of mess you’re dealing with.

The Viper Foaming Coil Cleaner is as easy as spray, wait, rinse. The foam expands deep into the coils, pushing out dirt and gunk you didn’t even know was in there. Great for both indoor and outdoor coils, especially if you're dealing with basic dust and grime build-up.
✅ Eco-friendly
✅ Biodegradable
✅ Ideal for routine seasonal cleaning
One customer, Tom from Brisbane, told us he used this on his split system after noticing airflow had dropped. "I was about to call someone in," he said, "but this spray did the trick. My lounge is ice cold again — and I didn’t have to lift more than a finger."
Got a bar fridge or commercial ice machine? You need something tougher — and safer.
The Viper Nickel-Safe Cleaner is designed to clean scale, slime, and mineral deposits without damaging the delicate nickel plating found inside many ice machines.
✅ Safe for use on nickel components
✅ Removes scale and biofilm
✅ Perfect for home or commercial use
Whether you’re keeping drinks cold for a backyard BBQ or running a café in Melbourne, this cleaner will keep your ice safe and your machine running efficiently.
A lot of HVAC issues go undetected because the signs aren’t obvious. That’s where the Viper Big Blu Sub Zero Leak Detector shines — literally.
Spray it on, and the non-freezing, water-based formula forms large bubbles wherever there's a leak. Great for HVAC joints, seals, and valves.
✅ Works in sub-zero temps
✅ NSF certified
✅ Ideal for diagnostics before and after maintenance
It’s the go-to for HVAC techs — and savvy homeowners looking to diagnose without guesswork.
Ever done some brazing or torch work around your HVAC lines? Then you know the pain of accidentally damaging nearby components. That’s where Viper Heat Blocking Gel steps in.
This reusable gel absorbs heat, shielding surrounding areas while you work. It’s non-toxic and cleans up easily with water.
✅ Reusable and residue-free

Great question! While the cleaners themselves work fine in humid conditions, it's not ideal to clean your outdoor unit during heavy rain or when humidity is through the roof. You want to give the foam or coating time to bond and dry properly — plus, no one wants to wrestle with coil cleaner and a slippery patio. Try to schedule your cleaning on a dry, overcast day for best results.
Indirectly, yes. Smells in your air conditioner often come from mould, dust, or bacterial build-up in the coils. When you remove the gunk, the smell usually goes with it. If your system still smells off after cleaning, you might want to check the drain pan or filters — and maybe light a nice candle while you're at it.
Most Viper coil cleaners and related products have a shelf life of 2–3 years if stored in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Just make sure the cap’s tight and the product isn’t exposed to extreme temperatures (like in a shed that feels like the outback in summer).
Short answer: Not really. Viper coil cleaners are designed for metal coils — not the mesh or foam filters inside your unit. For those, warm soapy water or a specific filter cleaner is your best bet. Save the Viper for the tough stuff.
Salt air is brutal on HVAC systems. If you're anywhere near the coast (looking at you, Gold Coast, Perth, Wollongong…), give your system a clean every 3 months, especially during summer. Pair your cleaner with a coil protector (like Viper Coil Coating) to help prevent corrosion.
Don’t panic — Viper cleaners are designed to be safe, even if you overdo it a little. Just make sure you rinse thoroughly, especially on outdoor units, and give your system some time to dry before switching it back on. You might use more water than planned, but your coils will be squeaky clean!
Most Viper products come in recyclable plastic bottles or metal cans. Just make sure they’re fully empty and give them a quick rinse before tossing them in the bin. And no — don’t try to “upcycle” them into herb planters. Citrus-scented basil sounds fun until it doesn’t grow.
