i frequently squeeze lemon down drains. and sometimes i might leave
the lemon hanging around the sink for awhile, is the acid bad for the
porcelain? it seems like the acid might be eroding the porcelain
around the drain hole and thus exposing metal to rust. it could be my
imagination though.

1. Not much acid in a lemon and what's there is very weak.

2. This is an iron sink with porcelain? The porcelain is glass fused to the
iron. The only acid that eats glass AFAIK is hydrofluoric and there is none
of that in a lemon. Or in vinegar or anything else you'll have around the
house either.
