Great question! Instead of "literally" you can use really, completely, actually, honestly, exactly, or precisely. These are the more commonly used synonyms for "literally." However, for this sentence, I recommend using "precisely" here. The sentence would sound more natural if you used "precisely" to replace "literally." The sentence would be "I just finished cleaning precisely two hours ago."
