Cleaner Maurits (66) moves people with song, now he stops at the hospital: ‘It makes me silent’

Is cleaning a lonely profession? Not for the singing cleaner Maurits Tahitu (66). In addition to vacuuming and cleaning, he has relaxed, reassured or moved patients at the Groene Hart Hospital (GHZ) for 33 years with his singing. “A toilet bowl doesn’t talk back, so you have to get it from the people.”
