I had the same issue and I just use my finger closest to the string I shouldn't play to mute it.

Take the G to C or example play your G how ever you play it then when you switch to the C use your ring finger to mute the low E string as well as fret the 3rd fret of the A string. You could also mute the E with your thumb to.

That's how I do it any way.
