what do i use to clean out my brake fluid resevoir

I removed it because it was brown. Three was brown goop inside that doesn't come out all the way when i put fluid in and shake it hard. I guess i'll disconnect the lines at each wheel and blow some air through the lines. IS THERE A BETTER WAY. RAY M

Detergent and hot water followed by a compressed air dry sounds good. I'll just leave alone long enough to dry completely. If not then a new one if i have to. Thanks RAY M
