I also have the black cap Motive bleeder. It works great.

To clean up the bleeder for reuse, just get out as much as you can and then I wipe out the inside of the bleeder with lint free towels.

I also use ATE Type 200 Super Gold ($15/liter) and you typically only need 1 liter per car (I have no idea why some instructions say that you may need 2-3 liters). In my case, I am able to use the same brake fluid in all of my cars so whatever might be left in the bleeder after cleaning is at least the same fluid as the new stuff.
