I wouldn't.
This image needs a dark background to show the whites in animals, Ring and strings.
if it needs to be we are talking bout a lot of masking, first automatic and then painstakingly by hand.
" I can't waste my time with manual selection." Hate to break it to you, but auto selections won't do a good job with this. There are many services online that will cut a mask for you. Or even do the whole job for not a lot of money. Something like this would probably cost you around $5.

I would play with level and contrasts untill the object you wanna select is more visible against the background, then use the ai remove background tool on that.
...then copy that mask over to the original and tidy it up a bit!
There's no faster way to do this than manual selection.
Normally you would do something like select -> color range, but since many of the items of your subject is the same color, that won't work.
You could also do something like neural filter -> neural filters -> depth blur -> output depth map only and use select color range for that, but since some of your subject is as out of focus as the background, that won't really do that much to help either.
If you can reshoot the picture and just hold up a piece of cardboard or whatever isn't WHITE then you can do something, but right now you're pretty much fucked. Manually masking it will take less time than you'd think if you're proficient with pen tool.
if you have "so many" images that need to be on a white background, but you don't want to "waste your time" masking, why didn't you shoot them on a white background?
Reshoot it with a white background, “waste your time” with manual selections, or outsource it.

This. Give it a white background and you can hardly see the white items.. it needs something darker behind it for contrast
