Steps

Method 1 of 2: Remove staples on paper

1. 

   Choose a staple remover. There are many different methods you can use to loosen staples and remove them from paper, some very simple and others quite complex. Depending on how much paper you have to remove, you may find one method more suitable than another.
   • A spring-activated stapler will usually be the simplest and cheapest tool for removing a stapler. They are basically small claws that you can use to remove the two prongs of the pin to loosen and remove it. You can find it at almost any stationery store for about 6,000 VND.
   • "Office" staples are often more complex, but using them is quite simple and effective. Designed to resemble a scissors, this machine allows you to fix the position of the staple at the top of the de-stapler, then push the button to activate and loosen it. Nothing could be easier.
   • Your fingers are also quite helpful in removing some pins from the paper. However, if you have to remove a lot of pins, it is not worth the frustration, you better use a staple remover. You can use a coin, nail clipper, and the end of a pen, or anything else that will help you lift the tip of the staple if you want to remove it with your bare hands.

2. 

   
   
   Turn the paper over and examine the pin. The back of the staple will have two prongs that you need to stretch out so you can remove the staple without tearing the paper too much. Place the paper on the table with the stapler facing up.
   • If you find that the prongs of the staples are broken or rather loose, pulling them out of paper is quicker and simpler than “grappling” with the staple remover.

3. 

   
   
   Use a staple remover to lift the prongs of the staples. Place the staple remover on the prongs and lift them up. This will not remove the staple completely, but it will help you straighten the two prongs that are securing the staples on the paper. Do this and you should be able to remove the pin.
   • If you are using a spring staple remover, make sure its teeth are fixed in the correct position so that you can remove the staple without tearing the paper. Usually, if you use a stapler, you can do this on any side of the paper.

4. 

   
   
   Turn over the paper and remove the staple. After you have loosened the two prongs of the staples, gently shake the paper to remove it. You can use your finger, or use the de-stapler's teeth, to grip the staple and remove it.
   • If the staples remain on the paper, be careful not to tear the paper. Shake your wrist slightly to loosen the pin. Old, warped or rusted staples are more difficult to loosen than new staples, so it will take some effort. Just slow down and do it slowly.

5. 

   Get rid of old staples. It's a good idea to stack the staples in a tidy heap during the staple removal process, especially if you still have to unpin a lot of paper, and then dispose of them properly. Stepping on a pin, or getting a pin pricked on your finger can be painful, so it's best to clean the entire process, rather than waiting until it's done.
   • Keep the trash can by the side of your desk so you can brush the pins directly into the trash if needed. You should do this regularly to avoid accumulating too much trash in the work area.
