How do I mute power chords?

I have just tried to play "Smoke on the Water" (yep, that classic every guitar player plays) and I am unable to get a 'clean' sound (strange to want a clean sound with power chords, what I mean is I get a lot of extra noises that shouldn't be there). I have no idea how to mute.

I've heard about palm muting and fret muting. How you do those? I

I have tried palm muting the chords:

o - mute 3 - mute 5 - mute o - mute 3-mute 6-mute 5-mute but don't manage to get it to sound right. I manage a 'righter' sound when I don't try to mute at all, but, it has some very high sounds around.
