I'm a bit surprised that this remains a point of confusion twenty-five years after the fact. Sure, it doesn't all occur on-screen, which is sort out of character for the writers, but I think the sequence of events is clear enough:
1) Yoshi has been with the rats off-screen when he sees the turtles covered in mutagen.
2) Yoshi steps on the mutagen in order to get to the turtles, activating his mutation to rat.
3) Yoshi begins cleaning the turtles. Since his own mutation to rat has already begun, touching them does nothing.
