Default Bleach on Latex Paint

I had used Target Surface CLeaner with (hypochlorite) Bleach five years ago
to remove mold from latex paint and it neither peeled nor became moldy again.
Now they sell a Target "all purpose cleaner with bleach" which is 2%
hypochlorite, but they say to use it on non-porous hard surfaces. Is this
essentially the same product? Why the change in warnings? Tilex, which is 3%
hypochlorite says do not use on paint unless you plan to repaint. I do not
mind discoloration. My uncle used TIDE on asbestos sand paint and it began
peeling within hours. Now this paint is not asbestos, but I don't want to
deal with peeling. But I don't want this thing to spread.
