| A Nice Clean Slap

Alright guys; I'm learning to slap and pop. It's going well. My accuracy has been improving quickly, and I'm speeding up, but now I need your help.
My problem is in muting the strings. I'm finding it absurdly difficult (the 'E' string in particular) to keep the sound clean. I've been told that I'll tighten it up as I gain accuracy - and I can see how that might be true, but after watching videos of veteran slappers I think I need to change how I'm fretting the instrument.
So how do you do it? Do you keep a finger on each string with your fretting hand to mute, fretting only when a sound is desired? If so, how do you keep the lower strings mute when playing the higher strings? I'm at an indecision here. Please, somebody help me out.
