Conventional mother bathing, perhaps (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mainstream

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'conventional' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'mother bathing perhaps' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'mother' could be 'ma' (ma can mean mother) and 'ma' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mainstream that I've seen before include "People representing most common ideas" , "entirely conventional?" , "conventional activities" , "Current" , "Conventional, normal" .)
