+Easily clear `float`s by adding `.clearfix` **to the parent element**. Utilizes [the micro clearfix](http://nicolasgallagher.com/micro-clearfix-hack/) as popularized by Nicolas Gallagher. Can also be used as a mixin.
+
+{% highlight html %}
+<div class="clearfix">...</div>
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+{% highlight scss %}
+// Mixin itself
+.clearfix() {
+ &:before,
+ &:after {
+ content: " ";
+ display: table;
+ }
+ &:after {
+ clear: both;
+ }
+}
+
+// Usage as a mixin
+.element {
+ @include clearfix;
+}
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+The following example shows how the clearfix can be used. Without the clearfix the wrapping div would not span around the buttons which would cause a broken layout.
+
+{% example html %}
+<div class="bg-info clearfix">
+ <button class="btn btn-secondary float-xs-left">Example Button pulled left</button>
+ <button class="btn btn-secondary float-xs-right">Example Button pullred right</button>
+</div>
+{% endexample %}
