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!

OK, now we are cooking with gas!! errr, well 6% chlorine at least!! We have a sock of Cyanaric acid hanging under the water return, new readings are this,,,, FC 2PPM, 0.2 Combined, PH 7, Alk 30PPM and Cal 40PPM, we are leaving the pump running low 24/7, just added a bit more water due to evaporation and running the Vac and brushing sides daily.
Water is still green but appears lighter.
Is there anything else we need to do or test?

OK, was without internet for a few and had some struggles with the chlorine levels but things are looking better now, here are the most current readings, FC 9PPM, Alk 70PPM, PH 7 and CYA is 70.
Pool looks more blue, just a little cloudy. With these levels would it be safe to get in to scrub the walls down and vac? We dont have a deck and its easier to clean the pool from inside.

Sure! Those levels are fine for swimming!
