Have you checked the page in all the modern browsers? If it displays how you require it to then you don't need it.

I see now on my other pages where I do have floats in the main div that it is necessary, so I'll just leave it on all my pages. I don't think it can hurt.

Is there a way to insert it and not have it attached to a <br>? It's the <br> that's affecting my page, not the clearfloat.

Yes, if you have floated elements like <divs> on your pages then a clearing solution which directly follows those <divs> is usually needed.
