I've had good success cleaning these baffled reservoirs out by removing them, then putting a handful of coffee bean-sized gravel in there and vigorously shaking. Repeat a few times as necessary, then shake ALL the gravel out(!).

If you have the coolant level sensor in there, this method is probably a bad idea; if so try step two of my procedure, which is to follow the gravel treatment by pouring a bottle of that "CLR" household scale remover in and sloshing it around, let sit, repeat, etc.
