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.
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 .

"Since" is a subordinating conjunction, which introduces a dependent clause that gives the reason for the action in the main clause.
Subordinate (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.It would have to be connected by since to an independent clause, such as:"He has not been seen since he went to the store."---Coordinating conjunctions connect two independent clauses, such that each could be a separate sentence, although used together they will have a clearer meaning.
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).
An adverb clause is introduced by a subordinating conjunction such as "because," "when," "if," "although," or "since." It functions as an adverb in a sentence, providing information about time, reason, condition, manner, or place.

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?
