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."

Come? Ho appena finito di pulire letteralmente due minuti fa. Come avete potuto fare un pasticcio così in fretta?
