Where do you keep all your toilet/bathroom cleaning bottles?

Our bathroom doesn't have much storage, what we do have is already full of first aid stuff and towels, etc. As for cleaning products there is just not enough room in the cupboard for these aswell so my bathroom cleaning spray, glass cleaner and sink unblocker currently sits on the floor in the corner of the bath and the wall, and my loo cleaner and bleach bottles sits on top of the cistern of the loo. Loo rolls sits next to the loo too. Its all very clustered looking at the moment. Where does everyone else store this sort of stuff? I don't particularly want to have to store this stuff downstairs in the house and lug it all up when i clean up but yet i don't particularly want my loo cistern to be somewhat of an advertising showcase for toilet duck and domestos bottles! Any ideas?

I keep my bathroom cleaning products and loo rolls in a basket with a lid on it so noone has to see all that stuff. Downstairs loo has its own basket too.

in the kitchen with all the other household cleaners (a high cupboard so out of reach for LO)

I have toddlers in the house so the sink un-blocker is in the shed on a shelf (bit of a pain but I don't need it often). I have a bottle of flash hiding in the 'U' shape behind the sink pedestal and a packet of flash loo brush thingies on top of the bath room cabinet where it can't be seen (the handle for the flash loo brush lurks under the loo u bend).

The glass cleaner is kept under the kitchen sink and makes an appearance once in a blue moon.

I am a bit of a minimalist and like to lie in the bath without seeing cleaning bottles.

on top of the bathroom cabinet- effectively on a high shelf.

except drain un blocker- thats on a high shelf in the garage so I don;t mistake it for Mr Muscle.

In a box with cloths, gloves etc in the bottom of the airing cupboard on the landing.

Under the sink in the kitchen

Well least people will know your bathroom is clean if they can see cleaning bottles on display, like my Mum today seemed impressed earlier today when she came back from loo noting i currently have a bottle of domestos bleach next to the loo.

Thanks for the replies girls. I think maybe a basket may work in our bathroom.

We kept the old toddler bathroom step (plastic thing) and use that inverted as a container for all this kind of stuff, which is kept at the bottom of the airing cupboard on the landing. It gets pulled out to use as a "sick bucket" occasionally (with all the cleaning stuff removed of course!)

I usually keep bleach behind the back of the washbasin pedestal.
We use a wicker basket for spare toilet rolls.
