Yes, it's enough to use location.href. That will re-load the document. Nothing is left (but see below).

But why do you want to do this? Why do you feel it needs a "clean start"?

If you are using some HTML5 database or local storage, however, this will not remove their content.

ok thanks.
why will i do this? we have an event calender app. so most of the content will be loaded via ajax requests from our server. there are two reasons:

the most important: i am using jqm in a phonegapp app. there will be no real clean start when the app comes up from background.

for some time it is ok, eg. clicking on a map-link and then coming back to the app, but after that:

1) there are some quite large lists as i have dom-cache enabled. while you are browsing the dom will be filled with lots of html-code so the page will be getting bigger and bigger. so over the time you will have a really big html-file.  i will have a way to do some kind of "clean start" to reduce the memory consumption.

2) after some time the information is no longer valid. eg we have a "today"-link. at "some time" today is no longer today, so i need to refresh this page.

first i will do 1), for 2) i will try to implement an expire-function or save an expire-field in the loaded page-div, so that i can decide when or whether to reload the page.
