I am looking for a way to automatically clean table in MySQL once per day. Is this possible without using cron? The best solution would be a trigger, but any solution is applicable.

One option is MySQL's EVENT scheduler:

CREATE EVENT e_daily
    ON SCHEDULE
        EVERY 1 DAY
        STARTS '2014-02-23 05:00:00' -- Time to start
    COMMENT 'Descriptive comment'
    DO
        TRUNCATE yourtable;
