Don't let it overflow, take as much out of the master cylinder as possible, use a syringe with a long flexible pipe or something similar to suck as much of the fluid out as you can (still use plenty of rags to catch spillage and keep the carpets clear of fluid). then reverse bleed the system without letting the master over flow - repeat draining master and reverse bleeding untill you are seeing only clean fresh fluid in the master. you'll need some way of pumping hydraulic fluid into the bleed nipple from the slave (use plenty of rags under this) - if you've got an oil gun with a proper oil nipple adaptor on it then clean it out and use that.
It may actually be easier in the long run to remove the master cylinder, strip it down and clean it and then re-assemble with clean fluid and then bleed the clutch normally.
