The Netherlands Prime Minister Mark Rutte is being praised on the internet after a video clip of him cleaning up the parliament floor went viral on Tuesday.

The clip shows Rutte entering through the security gates of the Dutch parliament and accidentally dropping his coffee.

But instead of having someone clean up the mess on the floor, he took the mop and did the job himself.

In the clip, Rutte is seen picking up his coffee cup and then grabbing a mop from one of the staff members. With a big smile on his face, perhaps aware of the presence of cameras, he cleans up the floor without hesitating as staff cheers him.
