DON'T CLICK THE WHITE BALANCE TOOL ON SOMETHING WHITE

The White Balance tool (I) actually works best by clicking on something in your photo that is light gray, rather than clicking on something that is supposed to be white. Once you've clicked on a light gray area, use the Tint and Temperature sliders if you want to tweak the white balance a little bit, but use the White Balance tool to do most of the work.
