The less free RAM your phone has the better it's running, as Android cleans it up itself. If you had the full 1Gb of ram free it would mean no applications were running, not even the dialler app; basically it would be pointless. Unless you have several large applications running at the same time (say Google+, Facebook, and a couple of graphically intensive games) then it won't make the slightest difference if you have 200mb free or 800 mb free so don't worry about it. There are a few 'RAM cleaners' on the market but they're obsolete now; when phones had 512mb RAM or less and ran on older versions of Android then they did need help clearing inactive apps.

Out of 1GB of RAM, you have 882 MB of usable RAM. Out of which 290MB of RAM is free when the phone is idle.
