I've read somewhere about a bathtub cleaning tip that said to fill it up with hot water and Clorox and liquid soap, but Im not sure which specific ingredients. Has anyone heard about this cleaning tip? Can you help figure out the correct instructions?

I much easier way to clean the tub is with a Magic Eraser. The knock-offs work very well. It cleans the tub well and in very little time.
I used to do this when I lived in an apartment and water was included. Now I pay for water, and realized how wasteful it is to do, so the tub just gets scrubbed by hand. It is cheaper.
It did work. Depending on how dirty the tub was, I would use 1 or 2 cups of bleach, filled the tub up as far as the little drain thingy and add a few squirts of plain blue Dawn (although if I was out of Dawn, I would use plain Tide).
I usually did it at night, swished it around good with a mop (I don't like bleach on my skin so I would never use my hands), and drained it in the morning.
It always came clean. Hope this helps!
Since this question was asked several days ago, you have probably already tried cleaning your tub.
I really hesitate recommending using bleach because it can react differently on bathtubs that are not porcelain. Most are fiberglass and I have seen bleach cause "yellow" spots and actually harm the surface.
Bleach is also very difficult to remove from the surface (takes lots of water) and it can be very slippery if even a small amount is left on the surface.
Here is a link that does explain how to use bleach in your tub.
Here is an interesting alternative (from a web site):
"If you wish to avoid bleach products altogether, the green cleaning website Re-Nest recommends treating the tub with grapefruit and salt. The salt contains chloride, one of the ingredients in the bleach compound, and grapefruit contains citric acid, which also cleans and disinfects. Cut the grapefruit in half, sprinkle salt over it and scrub your entire tub to clean and disinfect. Rinse with water and call it a day."
