If you're not shooting in RAW, you should be. Give em a bit of a tweaking.

That would do it. When you open the image up in Adobe RAW, there should be a little teardropper in the upper left corner next to the magnifying glass. That's your white balance tool. Click it on somewhere that should be white, and it'll get you 98% towards the right tones.

For product photography, I have found it really helps to have a reference gray card like the WhiBal G7. This is an inexpensive option that makes it easy to follow NorthPolar's steps above.

A more comprehensive solution is something like the X-Rite ColorChecker. The ColorChecker comes with software to allow you to create a full color profile (rather than a simple white balance adjustment) for your specific camera. This helps ensure all your colors are correct, but may be overkill if your goal is creating product photos for eBay or humble-brag posts.

Using the WhiBal is easiest as you simply put it next to your subject and take your shot. (It actually helps if you soften your focus for this frame.) Let's call this the "reference shot". After taking the reference shot, remove the card, confirm your focus, and take your series of product shots as you normally would. You only need a new reference shot if your lighting changes. Take your series into Lightroom (or similar processor), open the reference shot, then use the white balance selector to select the gray card as the white balance reference. To apply that adjustment to a series of photos, select all the photos to be adjusted using the film strip, then click the "Sync..." button.

If you plan on portrait work, the gray card will be one of your best friends.

Go down to home depo and read some lightbulb boxes. You can buy 5200k bulb. Sunlight is 5200 degrees Kelvin.

This is a cheap way to get a good white balance indoors, if you keep out, or overpower all other light sources.
