Pull off both hoses, and wash it both ways. Doesn't really matter.

If you leave one of the hoses on, you are just going to move that gunk into the engine.

Once you have it flowing clear water,start thinking about flushing the engine. That gunk did not come from the heater core!

And watch the pressure as you wash it out, don't get nuts. Heater cores can be expensive.
