Well, I rarely go straight to soaking. I run the shower first to rinse myself off (don't want to soak in my own grime), and while I'm rinsing myself off, I grab the scrub brush and scrub down the tub a bit. I'll usually finish off by putting the shower head to 'high powered beads of death" (I think that's supposed to be a massage setting) and going over the tub surface with the water set to the highest temp. Then I let everything drain, and after that, stopper the tub and turn the setting to faucet rather than shower head and fill it up. But as was stated above, baths aren't for cleaning (I did that in the showering phase), baths are for 'oh god my knees' and 'I can't get warm', although sometimes 'the only way I'm getting this paint/glue/tree sap off my skin is to soak until I'm wrinkly and then scrub it off'.
