The best way to keep your strawberries fresher for a longer period of time is by placing the good strawberries in the refrigerator in layers separated by paper towels inside a plastic container or sealed bag. This works great for short term storage- up to 3 days.
For anything longer than that, the strawberries will need to be frozen in a sealed plastic bag.
Keep in mind that it is not good to wash the strawberries before refrigerating them. Just wash them when you are ready to eat them.
