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.

Some common subordinating conjunctions include "because," "although," "since," and "if." These words are used to introduce subordinate clauses in a sentence and show the relationship between the main clause and the subordinate 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.
Although there are many subordinate conjunctions, the most common are "and", "but", and "or". A subordinate conjunction connects a subordinate clause (a clause that cannot stand alone as a sentence) to a main clause (a complete sentence).
This is a subordinate adverbial clause, as it provides information about the time ("since you left our house early"). It cannot stand alone as a complete sentence.
