Borax and baking soda are NOT the same thing. Borax is sodium tetraborate and is used to raise pH without affecting alk much. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate and is used to raise alk.

I guess I worded that wrong, I know what borax and baking soda is for, just wanted to make sure there wasn't a particular % I had to use like the clorox needing to be 6% and was using 2.75.

You are right, there are no percentages or strengths that you need to look for in the borax and baking soda--it is what it is!
