it smells a bit when after 5-6 months but that soon dissapates ,  and no crows feet .

Wow! I would've thought that bleach (Chlorine - or Sodium Hypochlorite, the active ingredient) anywhere near Aluminium such as mirrors would be an absolute no-no.
Can you confirm that the Chlorine has no effect on the coatings?
I realise most commercially coated mirrors have a protective SiO coating, but that always has tiny pinholes through which a corrosive gas could penetrate and, over time, corrode the Aluminium under the SiO
I'd be inteested to see long term effects, if any.
