Default Help an idiot out please

So I accidentally put some Dupli Color wax and paint remover in my brake fluid reservoir. Probably about 2 tablespoons before I caught myself. I havent cranked the car or touched the brakes since. Cant I just bleed the hell out of them and be ok? I have read some horror stories about people having to replace the entire brake system because of accidental issues like this. As in certain things like eating up the rubber o-rings and such. What do you guys think?

If you haven't touched anything else ...
Should be able to use a turkey baster or syringe and empty out the brake reservoir and then refill with brake fluid
