The only time I have removed a res to clean it well is when replacing the MC. I would just suck up what you can with a baster turkey or chicken, your preference, then clean it with some Q-tip cotton swabs.

you can let some air into the MC, but make sure you bleed it properly, it is different than the calipers. you need to push the pedal to sort of bench bleed the air out of it. what you do is remove the 2 lines, attach hoses with the kit they sell at the store, and bleed like you would a caliper but have an assistant pump the pedal until you no longer see air bubbles come out of the MC, then re-attach the hoses and bleed normally!

Failure to bleed the MC will cause premature failure.
