appliances? as in a microwave or something? If you want to put it in a toaster or something go ahead and youtube it for us.
Okay, seriously, an easy way to clean the trackpad would be a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (or something generic).

The above advice is of good quality.

Your trackpad is worn down already??? I have gone 2 years with my powerbook and the trackpad is like it was when it was new, and I use it alot...

Maybe not worn down so much as it is just slimy and greasy.
