Bathroom cleaning - storage

What cloth do you use to clean your sink and bath and where do you store it. At the minute my sponge is stuck behind the pipes along with the bathroom cleaner - but my new shiny bathroom will have no visible pipes - so where can I put them while ensuring they are properly aired and dried so they don't go all smelly.

I keep mine in a bathroom cupboard. I use a scourer sponge for the basin and bath. You can lay them on a soap dish or keep them in a plastic box without a lid so they don't wet the cupboard and damage it.

I have a scourer sponge too but mine's kept upright in a nice-looking vase/container on a low shelf with spare loo rolls etc.

Another scourer sponge here, kept in a nice open-topped ceramic container in a semi-open cupboard (3 sided) with the spare everything.

Sorry to hijack but just wondered if anyone stores there bathroom cleaner/bleach in the airing cupboard? It gets quite warm in there but want to keep it out of the DC's reach and we have no other storage available in the bathroom, is it dangerous to put cleaners in a warm cupboard? Sorry I know it's probably a stupid question.

Is there a temperature warning on the back of the bleach bottle?
I don't know about these things. Our bleach has a safety lid on it but I know some surprisingly young dcs can open these.
