If their in the groun, I mow mine down apply mulch around them. Next season I have many more berries.
Before I moved, I had two 4 x 12 ft. rows of strawberries, and lived at 6000 feet with snow in the winter. I covered them completely with a minimum of 3 inches of straw - has to be straw, not pine straw or anything else. After the last frost date, I would uncovere them and find many had already flowered.
Raise the blades of your motor mower and give the tired strawberries a gentle hair-cut. You may need help to lift the inactive mower and I never water the soil beforehand. Otherwise just snip the tops off with a hand secateurs or small loppers. NEVER lift a firing mower... repeat NEVER EVER.
