  • Cheers Both of your sentences are not grammatical.
  • In your first sentence, "more / than" is a comparative structure, therefore, the correct form should be: We are using three times more power washing (it) in hot water than cold.
  • Or, Washing in cold water can save 3 times the cost compared to hot water.
