English term or phrase: chuck (ed)
Olá, colegas.
Gostaria de sugestões criativas em PT-BR para "chucked" no contexto a seguir. É uma propaganda de ferro a vapor:

You chucked the outfit years ago. Isn't it time you ditched the iron too? Get with the times. Get a new iron.
Whether you want to look sharp for the office, stylish heading out with friends, or glamorous for that first date, our steam irons are here to help you keep your clothes smart, chic and crease-free.

Explanation:
Usamos bastante "aposentar" no sentido de "não usar mais uma roupa ou objeto". Acho que seria uma solução interessante para seu contexto – foge do óbvio.

pôr/pôs de lado/de parte


Explanation:
"You chucked the outfit years ago. Isn't it time you ditched the iron too?"

"Há anos que pôs a sua roupa de lado/de parte. Não acha que já é hora de pôr de lado/de parte o seu ferro?"

Ou com o verbo "pousar" que tem o mesmo sentido (deixar, parar, cessar de usar).
Assim como pousamos a roupa para um canto deixando de a usar, também pousamos o ferro de engomar sobre a tábua quando estamos a passar.
