The easiest way is a good old fashioned file. Make long smooth strokes down the entire length of the blade.
Sharpening will help. However, with these mowers the grass really gets pinched off where the blade meats the crossbar. You will also get good benefit from just making sure everything is properly aligned and lubed.

Put a new blade on it now. Then take the old blade to have it sharpened and balanced so it will be ready to install when the new blade gets dull. Then simply swap the blades in and out forever following the same procedure! It works the same way with the brake rotors on your car. Buy a new pair of brake rotors and have them installed when you get the pads changed. Then take the old rotors the mechanic gave back to you and have them machined ("turned down") at an auto parts store. They'll be ready to swap with the new rotors on your next brake job!
OK, so now you want to know how to get the blade off your mower yourself easily? That will take another whole question from you and experts like me don't come cheap!

Call a hardware store take the mower there and they will sharpen the blades. Try sears or home depot or lowes
