Clearing app cache?

I noticed that certain apps, like Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram, are starting to hog up a bunch of memory on my device. When checking the usage details, I don't have the option to clear out the 'documents & data' within the app. I've been reading a few things online which advised that deleting and reinstalling the app is the only way to clear it out on the phone. It seems to be a bit of an inconvenience, especially if I use the apps often and they start accumulating new data all over again after they are reinstalled. Any suggestions or tips? Thanks! 🙂

iPhone 4, iOS 5.1
