What is the best way to store that toilet brush?

I really hate to keep the toilet brush and container near the toilet and just wondered if anyone else had a sanitary way to store the brush out of the bathroom. Ive tried disposibles but sometimes the brush seems best. Also I wonder if you guys sanitize the brush after cleaning so that whatever you clean doesnt end up at the bottom of the brush holder. There has to be a better way, if anybody has any tips please let me know. Also how are they stored at hotels etc. this might help give me some ideas. I would rather keep it out of my bathroom or in some way so that it is sanitary, its just such an ugly accessory, thanks!
