I just had that same situation to deal with this last weekend. I have the water stains and laundered them last year in Oxiclean and tide. They did not come out.
I was looking at them again to try a new approach. A while back I had bought "Instagone" from a TV promo. Although it did not mention using on fabrics I moved forward anyway. I got the drapes down, put them on a table with a towel between the fabric and liners, sprayed with Instagone. The stains disappeared almost immediately. I then stuffed the drapes into the washer and washed them with oxiclean and tide again and dried them. The look great. No more water stains and nice clean drapes.
We tried ORVUS soap, soft scrub, club soda, peroxide bathroom spray. They did come cleaner, but you could still see the stains.
We found some "INSTAGONE" at a "As Seen On TV" store today(thanks, jds475, for the suggestion!). DW sprayed them with this and the stains did indeed disappear. Amazing stuff considering where we bought it! She just sprayed them while they were in place. I would suggest taking them down and doing this outside. Instagone is a bit..negatively aromatic!
