They are not the same. The cleaner has surficants and detergents and must be used non-diluted for it to disinfect. That residue you feel is detergents and you might not want that on a cutting board. The clorox site makes no mention either way about cutting boards or food prep items.
Straight bleach should be diluted as per FAQ: http://www.clorox.com/products/usage.php?prod_id=clb
General Disinfecting
Use the following method to disinfect hard, nonporous surfaces at home: - Create bleach solution using ¾ cup Clorox® Regular-Bleach per gallon of water.
- Wash, wipe or rinse items/area with water, then apply solution.
- Let stand 5 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
FAQ for cleanup product:

The HD requires that a food serving establishment use 3 sinks for the cleaning or all materials including cutting boards. By law the wash sink must be large enough to submerge your largest utensil usually a cutting board. Now if it's over half way that's good. Then it must be rinsed in sink #2 and finally rinsed in sink #3 that has the bleach solution.
You must use test strips to ensure the right mixture .
For cleaning counters they must be washed with a hot saopy water then risned then sprayed with a solution of bleach water - again tested for concentration. Anybody who takes a Serve Safe course will know all this as well as much more.
