No. The clause "since you left our house early" is an adverb clause.
The clause "since you left our house early" is an adverb clause (of cause). Why the early departure caused the car to be washed is not clear. If not for 'early' the clause could just as easily be one of time, "since you left the house" being the time after which the car was washed.---The sentence is not only awkward but the usage of the word since is not appropriate and ambiguous. This occurs when transliterations of any Indo Aryan or Indo Burmese generic language is used to express it in English semantics.The word since would imply a time from some moment to the present:eg: I have been working since nine o'clock.(the action is till the present moment)I washed since early morning X (does not extend the time agreement)1. The word since can be preposition to mean before or after a specific time in a sentence.2. It could be used as a conjunction to mean because or from the time that.3.It could be used as an adverb to mean since that timeor event We washed the car is the first sentence with the conjunction since to connect the second sentence : you left our house early.The sentence to qualify with a subordinate clause can be restructured:The car was washed since you left our house early morning . (adverb clause of reason)
Yes, it appears to be an adverb of cause: the car was washed because someone left early. But was it washed because they had nothing else to do, or because they couldn't get to the car otherwise?

adverbial clause
An adverb clause (aka adverbial clause) modifies a verb, adjective, or adverb. It typically begins with an adverb that functions as a subordinate conjunction, as in "She has not worked since she had the accident." Here, the meaning is that she had an accident and has not worked since, or since then.
Since it answers the question 'When?', the clause functions as an adverb.

It is a sentence with more than one independent clause and at least one dependent clause.In grammar, a compound complex sentence is made up of two independent clauses as well as at least one dependent clause. An independent clause can stand alone, while a dependent clause cannot, since it is not a complete sentence.
A subordinating conjunction is a type of conjunction that introduces a subordinate clause and connects it to an independent clause. It shows the relationship between the two clauses, such as cause and effect or time sequence. Examples of subordinating conjunctions include "because," "although," "while," and "if."
1. Though the music was quite long, it was absorbing. 2. The player, who ran the wrong way, misunderstood the signal. 3. Writing changed when pictures became letters. 4. Because it is expensive, we were not able to buy the necklace. 5. Consumers buy fewer goods when prices rise.
A sentence has a subject and a verb. It is a complete thought and can stand on it's own. A clause is not a complete thought. It is missing a subject or verb. It cannot stand on it's own.
Subordinating Conjunctions are conjunctions that come at the beginning of clauses and make a clause dependent on another clause. They also show a relationship between one clause and another. If we take the Independent Clause, "He went to the store," and we put a subordinating conjunction at the beginning of that clause, "Since," the clause becomes dependent on another sentence to make it complete. "Since he went to the store." Notice that this sentence can no longer stand alone. When we add a subordinating conjunction to the beginning of a clause we must attach it to an independent clause--"Since he went to the store, I got my ice cream." The subordinating conjunction also shows a relationship between the first clause and the second clause. It was BECAUSE he went to the store that I got my ice cream. The reader can tell that there would be NO ice cream if he hadn't. Some examples of subordinating conjunctions are: As soon as Whenever Wherever When After that Because Since
