Default Replacing clutch fluid?

Hey guys I am going to be replacing the clutch fluid(brake fluid) soon.
I was reading somewhere on here that you can use a syringe to suck the fluid out of the resevior and then fill it back up to the line. then it said to proceed to pump the clutch to mix it, and continue this process till the fluid stays looking clean. Would this not allow air into the system? thanks guys.

that process will take some time. what i did was lift the car look for the bleeder and on the fire wall mark the location. i then drilled a 1/2" hole on the firewall to access from inside car ( pull carpet back to access metal ) with a extention and right socket you will be able to pump all the fluid out and bleed it all by your self.
* make sure the mark to drill will line up to the bleeder nippel*
