yes, when i do your laundry and put your clothes away, that involves going into their room. they know that so if hiding something, i would expect them to do a better job than putting it in their drawer or in plain view in the closet.
i do have remind myself to knock before walking in... but do try to respect privacy that way... sometimes i am distracted and don't notice til i already am in the room. oops.

Yes, I do go in to open/close curtains or windows depending on the time of year and weather. And occasionally I will place folded clothes on their bed or desk. (More often I keep the folded clothing downstairs where the laundry room is and have them transport it upstairs themselves.) So they are aware that I am in their rooms on occasion. I figure if they reach a point where they would like me to not go in, I'll discuss that with them at that point. But me having no access to their room will never be a thing.
I understand wanting privacy. I am a very private person, and I get that wanting your space to be private can be a big thing for someone, but my kids need to understand that if nothing else sometimes parents need access to rooms of the house simply for the good of the house. (From a simple reason like windows are open and rain is coming in, or if there is some sort of bigger problem.)

Ask her what she would do if she needed something from your room, or had something to put away in there. Would she wait to ask you? Or would she just pop in, without snooping, do what she needed to do and then go back out?

Can I just ask how much time does your teen(s) stay in their room(s)? Just out of curiosity.
