De-icing, effects the stall speed

Hi there!

Anti-icing fluids are supposed to stick to the wing for a period of time right?

But can't even the anti-icing fluid itself create the stall speed to be lower. Because it is said that all contamination on the wings even small ones have effect on flight performance. So then when anti-icing fluid is supposed to be stuck on the wing. Won't the fluid itself also have an affect on flight performance?

Thanks!
