Example 1: how to clear floats

This is the code 

.float-wrapper::after {
  content: "";
  clear: both;
  display: block;
}

Explanation:

.float-wrapper -> is some parent element that wraps the floating items

has no content and clears floats from the both sides, making sure, 
other sections are not affected by floats
