Narrative:
After takeoff and before end of sterile, the #3 flight attendant and I noticed the main cabin was becoming very hazy. I notified the captain and then kept monitoring the cabin. The cockpit concluded that the haze was from deicing fluid on the wings. The flight originally had come in from denver and it was a quick turnaround. The deicing fluid on the wings had not evaporated which caused the fluid to go into the engines and then into the main cabin.
