Use a brush with an 8 foot extending handle or similar. For things that stick to the roof, turn the brush over and gently push them off with the back of the brush. Brush all of the way from the front edge of the shell, which you can easily reach between the two shells. Make sure there isn't dirt on the stepladder legs.

This will prevent mystery dents on the front shell ceiling and intrusion of the fallen material, and a lot of dust comes off. I still find a few pieces that asipirate between the shells or something during towing.

Finally, if you want to be squeaky clean, you can rinse off the brush head and stepladder legs with the water faucet, and shake them dry before storing in your TV.
A much better way is to use a leaf blower. No need for a "special" broom and spending all that time and effort. Lower the back shell, get in, plug your blower in and turn it on. You'll be done in a minute with no work involved and it gets into cracks where leaves get stuck and NO broom can reach.
