       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0003]    The following includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention(s). It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art, or material, to the presently described or claimed inventions, or that any publication or document that is specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art. 
         [0004]    1. Field of the Invention 
         [0005]    The present invention relates generally to the field of laundry and more specifically relates to laundry and dry cleaning organizing bag systems and methods. 
         [0006]    2. Description of the Related Art 
         [0007]    Most individuals in modern society wear garments to protect themselves from environmental elements and as a means for adorning themselves. These garments typically absorb odors and may become soiled during use. As a result individuals must clean the garments between wear sessions. Cleaning may be accomplished via machine washing and/or by dry cleaning; however if the garments (clothing) are accidentally improperly washed, they can become ruined and may need to be replaced which may be expensive and create an inconvenience. It is desirable that clothing integrity be preserved. 
         [0008]    At present, consumers may have difficulty finding places to store dirty laundry. Laundry hampers may take up considerable amounts of space, and may only have one compartment for holding dirty clothing, potentially causing delicate clothes to be mixed with regular clothing. Clothes that are left strewn on the floor can also become mixed up. Consumers may be required to sort each garment prior to washing to ensure that clothes are not improperly cared for, which can be a very tedious and time-consuming task. It is additionally desirable that clothing garments be stored in an organized manner. 
         [0009]    Clothing often needs to be moved from one location to another for laundering. The majority of individuals use laundry baskets which may work well for in-home usage, but are not practical for instances when garments need to be transported between locations for example to the dry cleaners or the laundry mat. It is desirable that an efficient transporting means for garments be developed. 
         [0010]    Various attempts have been made to solve the above-mentioned problems such as those found in U.S. Pat. And Pub. Nos. 6,224,259; 2007/0110342; 4,094,351; 5,090,559; 4,694,503; and 2,815,785. This prior art is representative of laundry transporting means. None of the above inventions and patents, taken either singly or in combination, is seen to describe the invention as claimed. 
         [0011]    Ideally, a laundry transporter and organizer should be user-friendly and, yet would operate reliably and be manufactured at a modest expense. Thus, a need exists for a reliable laundry organization, transport and storing system to avoid the above-mentioned problems. 
       BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0012]    In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known laundry art, the present invention provides a novel laundry organization and storing system. The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail is to provide efficient organizing, storing and transporting means for laundry to protect laundered garments.

         [0058]    The method of using (method of use  500 ) laundry organization and storing system  100  may further comprising the step(s) of: step five  505  hanging and/or carrying first bag assembly  110  and/or second bag assembly  210  via a color-coded removable version of first carry strap  126  or second carry strap  226 . 
         [0059]    It should be noted that step five  505  is an optional step and may not be implemented in all cases. Optional steps of method  500  are illustrated using dotted lines in  FIG. 5  so as to distinguish them from the other steps of method  500 . 
         [0060]    It should be noted that the steps described in the method of use can be carried out in many different orders according to user preference. The use of “step of” should not be interpreted as “step for”, in the claims herein and is not intended to invoke the provisions of 35 U.S.C. §112, ¶6. Upon reading this specification, it should be appreciated that, under appropriate circumstances, considering such issues as design preference, user preferences, marketing preferences, cost, structural requirements, available materials, technological advances, etc., other methods of use arrangements such as, for example, different orders within above-mentioned list, elimination or addition of certain steps, including or excluding certain maintenance steps, etc., may be sufficient. 
         [0061]    The embodiments of the invention described herein are exemplary and numerous modifications, variations and rearrangements can be readily envisioned to achieve substantially equivalent results, all of which are intended to be embraced within the spirit and scope of the invention. Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientist, engineers and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application.
