This is a decent but well working CSS clearfix as used in HTML5-Boilerplate (https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/blob/master/css/main.css#L173)
/*
* Clearfix for modern browsers
* 1. The space content is one way to avoid an Opera bug when the
* `contenteditable` attribute is included anywhere else in the document.
* Otherwise it causes space to appear at the top and bottom of elements
* that receive the `clearfix` class.
* 2. The use of `table` rather than `block` is only necessary if using
* `:before` to contain the top-margins of child elements.

/*
* Clearfix for usage within the Scss language
* This is a placeholder solution for usage as @extend
* Usage:
*
* selector-with-floats {
* @extend %clearfix;
* }
